Alveda King Challenges Americans: “Vote for America’s Good, Not the Lesser of Two Evils”
Eugene Vigil/Alveda King (Aug 10, 2016)
“Let’s overlook personal personality preferences; vote for the candidate with the greater potential to deliver on the issues most closely aligned with our faith and what is good for America.” -Dr. Alveda King
This Presidential election, many are saying they will vote for the “lesser of two evils.” Won’t it be better to vote for “what’s good for America?” Voting on the issues trumps evil hearts and personalities.
A colleague writes: “We hear the phrase: ‘lesser of two evils’ a lot … This year, we have witnessed much voting hand-wringing with many people of faith claiming that it is evil to ever vote for ‘the lesser of two evils’, or for any evil at all.
I have concluded that this lesser of two evils phrase is really a canard; a false picture of the electoral choice. Yes, we should never ever vote for evil; only for good.
