Well the thing is when it comes to politics I don't really care much and I don't truly know the people running for president, yes I know what they say I know their promises if they are elected but in this particular day and age deception is more abound than every before and the true motives are hidden behind false words and promises more so in this generation than any other.

politics is one of deception after all

Historically, apathy has led many to ruin as well. At least I hope you vote on your knees.

Like I said it is throwing away your vote at the polls because He is ALREADY KING of kings and LORD of lords.

I would disagree, it is not throwing away my vote. Firstly the popular vote doesn't pick the president anyways, the electoral college does. It's moreso a vote of confidence. Therefore I being king of America whom has little confidence in either political party may vote my confidence in God, the King of Kings, to establish whom is best to be my viceroy.

Lol the only other recourse would be to do as Sir Blain and not vote at all, which is also fair and acceptable. For me personally though I like voting and see it as my good privilege as king, and I also enjoy voting upon the issues moreso. Since I have been an avid political watcher since the 2nd grade I look forward to voting. For me election/political season is like the Superbowl, except better.

I suppose it also doesn't hurt that my precinct is in a church also lol. The first time I ever went to vote an old woman said to the elders that hand out the stickers, "I feel like the presence of God is in the room" which reinforced my notion to indeed vote for God.

In the American system the government are legally slaves, literally they call themselves public servants. The president is not a leader, but rather a slave, a viceroy, just as all that subjugate themselves to the US Constitution and/or a political parties or any other secular faction are slaves.

Since I have no confidence in my slaves to the political parties at this time for various reason, I am within my royal right to defer to the ultimate authority above all kings, whom is the God of the Bible.

ok, so the slaves are subject to the slaves...yeechh

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.

Lol, well the people are the governing authority according to the law of the land of America. I didn't come up with it, it was there before I was born. So you're basically subject to whatsoever you assert yourself subject to. Though indeed if you subjugate yourself to the Constitution, a political party, the military, etc. You're basically the slave of slaves, or even worse the slave of slaves of slaves.

Lol American legalism is pretty whacky. It's kinda like the greatest parody of legalism ever imagined.
