here are some perspectives to have when considering who to vote for many people have an attitude well I don't like either candidate so I'll just abstain or I'll vote for a third party maybe one candidate aligns more with my ideology but maybe I don't like their personality or their character and therefore I'll abstain or I'll vote for some third C third party who has no shot at wedding this is a fatal error there's a principle in Judaism that when faced with a decision even if one does not like either Choice one would be required to choose the better of the two or the lesser of the evil do you know who we learned this out from we learned this out from none other thanu when he decided to get married you know there's a rag in par sh the rag in each para gives the to the benefits that we learn from the par we know that mhu married a woman from mid midan the tah calls her aite but that's just a description of her beauty he did not marry a woman indigenous to the Jewish people and the RAB says we learn out something very important from here he says we learn that that if a person cannot achieve Perfection then then try to get as good as you can never give up something that could be somewhat good just because you cannot have perfectly good therefore because was not able for whatever reason to marry woman from his own people was afraid from the Pharaoh so he had to go to another land and he had no choice he had to get married he had to marry the daughter of because he had to have children says when faced with a choice between bad and only slightly bad and that's the choice M had to make he had to choose between not getting married at all or marrying a woman from a different to have children M said you know what I can't marry a jeice so what don't get married at all no that's ludicrous you have to make the best possible decision it's better to marry a woman from a different people of course this was before the Torah was given converted her but M made the decision that he's going to pick so to speak the lesser of the two evils so even if you're not enthralled with both candidates you are morally obligated to vote for the better of the two too now if you're having a hard time clarifying well which candidate is the better of the two here's a good perspective to have if you don't know why don't you ask the enemies of the Jewish people who would they prefer to see in power maybe ask some of the enemies of the state of Israel in the Middle East who want to see the annihilation of the Middle East ask them which candidate would they like to knock off or which candidate would they be more comfortable in power so they could continue to twist the arm of the state of Israel so when you don't know what to do try to think for a moment who would Iran prefer who would the houthis prefer who would healah prefer and the answer to that is very clear we all know the answer to that and another thing you have to think about is you may not agree entirely with the ideology of either candidate but if one candidate is at the Forefront of advancing every left-wing woke ideology then Not only would voting for that candidate mean that you support all of this destructive ideology which is antithetical to the T but even if you abstain and even if you vote for a third C candidate voting for a third candidate means you don't have the the backbone to stand up for what is correct and that is to vote against that so without enduring any candidate formally let's just say May the best man win and of course what's most important is that we all have to Davin for the welfare of Cl Israel in America in Arab Israel this is our primary a of course voting is our has but it should give up added motivation to should protect is and protect our interest and May
