Detroit pastor says progressive candidates are trying to 'virtue-signal' to Christian voters

Comments

1. Sofia: somehow i think that's not exactly what voters are looking for in a candidate
2. Iris: don't think he's saying they can't use Jesus as a platform, but that their whole campaign feels manufactured for votes
3. Ariagrant: i'm surprised they're calling this out now, considering the democratizing influence supposed progressive ideals are meant to have
4. Diegow: i've seen this before, trying to co-opt faith for votes isn't new
5. Ember Lynx: who cares what these guys are saying about using Jesus to win votes, I'll believe it when they start actually doing something about real issues on the ground
6. Yara: it seems a bit rich coming from political newcomers who want to talk the Christian talk
7. Theodoyle: i'm having trouble understanding how invoking Jesus is a bad thing, isn't faith supposed to be about personal conviction?
8. Echo Vesper: Wouldn't it be refreshing if they just laid out their actual policies instead of relying on name-checking?
9. Dane: i've noticed that trend too - everyone's suddenly interested in invoking jesus for their agenda, but can anyone really walk the talk?
10. Ghost Signal: I'm not sure "using Jesus" necessarily means they're trying to be sincere, or if it's just a strategic move to get brownie points from Christian voters?
