In this episode, I do a follow up on Piper’s voting article in light of his statement that he will not vote for Trump or Biden which is effectively a waste of time. Why vote at all? The point of the riposte is to counter the claim that Piper was not targeting Trump. I believe the evidence strongly contradicts that claim.

26:41 I think most Christians understand that we are not electing a spiritual leader. Piper and those like him are trying to target folks who have been alienated and burned by mainstream Christian leaders who backed Trump from the very begining of the primaries in 2016 when for years they screamed character matters.
Having said that, Piper is being disengenious with his writing as he expects such people to forget that the Democratic party for the last 4 years championed abject lunacy, the disentigtation of due process, the removal to enforce the rule of law which is essential to maintain a stable society, and allowed whole cities to be destroyed imperiling law abiding citizens.
These reasons alone are more than enough for voting for Trump and straight Rs whether you’re Christian or not.
I couldn’t agree with you more! Well said.
