That is not a biblical requirement. It is a common argument that many worldly people make. In fact it is one you can find from many lukewarm or psuedo Christians across the country. So it is not in opposition to being a lukewarm Christian.
I'm no big supporter of voting and went along many years boycotting the vote because democracy is an obvious scam. I'm not making the normie argument of "it's your civil duty to vote because we believe in democracy" here. I'm appealing to us having free will and constantly being called to judge and discern what is right or wrong and held accountable for our choices.
It's an ethical problem. On its face it looks like a choice between principle based decision making vs. consequentialism (basically, the trolley problem). I argue, that even if you don't violate your principles by not voting for a bad candidate, your lack of action still brings in what I'd argue to be a worse candidate. You not voting is still a choice and a conscious action that has foreseeable consequences. You're still breaking your principle by allowing the worse candidate to get in office considering you had the power to prevent that. Your only counter to this is either "Trump is equally as bad or worse than Biden" (from what I gather this is your view) or "the whole voting thing is just a facade and bears no real significance" (in which case I'd ask you why even care about mainstream politics).
Right off the bat it looks not only like a plot, but such a sloppy plot to indicate to me they want us to see it as an attempt on Trump and make that Zionist shill a hero. I would refer you to the "signs and lying wonders" from Revelation.
Sure, I have my skepticism too. But it's not just the shooting. They've been going hard against him since day one through all possible public/private channels. It wasn't that sloppy. They let their patsy get comfortable and shoot his load and Trump not biting the dust was an unforeseen consequence. It's not the first failed attempt at a president. They may have wanted to shook him up but that makes little sense because his supporters are even more resolved now. If they wanted to have SHTF scenario, they could have killed him and have a civil war break out. It's all speculation at this point.
have to decide which one is the lesser evil.
