I don’t think Jesus would touch American politics with a 50 foot pole, so this a moot point.
That's not really the main subject of this article, but Christ taught his disciples to own up to their civic responsibilities. He also mandated that one should pracitice what he preached. And BTW, American politics are hardly more cynical than either Israel's or Rome's, when Christ tread soil.
Politics, no. But life is more than politics, and some of our decisions, the ones that affect the lives of so many, are of immense importance to us and more so to Him. We cannnot be callous to the laws of nature’s God and walk away as if He doesn’t exist. The very thing which emboldens so mnay to keep up the culture of death is that they see God’s failure to zap us as meaning it is of no consequence. But, just as He gave Israel time to repent and desist from its sin, and received warning after warning, He finally allowed a more sinful nation to take them away into captivity, and He wil do the same to us.
