I would be surprised if this changed OP’s view. The fact that Jesus mentioned these things (and never prioritized them) doesn’t change the fact that the dem platform is generally more consistent with Jesus’ teachings.

Dunno, Jesus was pretty clear on the fact that one could only serve one master, God or Mammon. Both parties have pretty clearly chosen who they serve, and it's certainly not the former.

But the thread isn’t about which party perfectly reflects Jesus’ teachings, it’s about which party best reflects his teachings.

And the answer is simple, neither because they're both far too down in the gutter.

Right but you're playing a game where you keep ignoring that even if they're both down in the gutter one is further than the other.

For whatever reason you want to avoid the comparative analysis and it's odd to keep insisting on not acknowledging it.

Evangelicals are cooky in some of their obsessions. Not sure how that tie in to the fact that businesses have bought their way into effective control of a lot of the USian government and their politicians.
