His point aside, in a world where there are no alternative choices, we don't have to choose. We don't have to be part of the process if the process is so corrupt that it flies in the face of our values and beliefs. I don't have to select the lesser of two evils if it means supporting or defending an evil. And sure, no one running for office is going to be perfect, but there are some who seem more credible, just, and moral, and even a few who actually seem sincerely dedicated to Christ. Unfortunately they're just not running this election. In the meantime, we can refocus our attention on the ground floor, in the lives of people on the street, in our neighborhoods, the guy next door. In those closest to us without attempting to change the political landscape. Jesus did much the same, and he was able to change the entire political game from the bottom up (granted, it took the Roman empire a little time to catch up).
I'm not suggesting people have to do this or even necessarily that they should, but I'm saying that it is an alternative.
