Reply To: The Hishtadlus of Voting

As to whether I agree with voting for who you think is best;

As I said already I believe a person should vote within the framework of proper hashkafa.

The interesting question now is, does it matter anymore?

Rav Miller’s psak was before every candidate fell into the LGBT camp. Now that every candidate no longer has values that I can believe in, what is the right derech?

You can argue many things, maybe now we have to vote for the candidate that is more pro-Israel or less loved by the LGBT.

But I do believe that the answer is more fluid now than it was just a few years ago.

Personally, I believe the proper answer is to not vote for sheker. Do a protest vote and maybe, just maybe, future candidates will get the hint that we still care (a little ) for personal integrity.
