(56,843 posts)My agreement with that post goes to seeing "faith" as an excuse not to work. When one only has faith in some politician or other leader, one tends to assume they will carry the main burden of whatever needs doing.
Work is hitting the pavement or phones and getting other people involved, building a movement that has influence and will sustain the person being backed in their endeavors to accomplish shared goals.
Faith to often leads to disappointment, because who can live up to fantasy-based standards?
I think we see plenty of examples of that with the current administration. Way too many people were operating on faith instead of reality.
I am not saying that is a bar to supporting the candidate or to participating, just that it can be a weak basis to work from.
