In the 24 years since I voted in my very first presidential election, life has changed a bit. Society has changed a bit. And, frankly, I’ve changed a bit. Precisely nothing is simple anymore it seems. My vote is no longer a foregone conclusion and, honestly, growing more in my Catholic faith has made voting for anybody includes more mental and spiritual gymnastics than I’d like.
Add to all that an ever quickening news cycle and the social media phenomenon, and you've got yourself a whole mess of confusion. How are we supposed to be true to ourselves, our faith, our relationships, our families, and our futures and still vote in good conscience? Where is the perspective that we need? Enter, Julie.
Julie Varner Walsh is a blogger, podcaster, and political aficionado who brings years of experience studying and working in politics to today's discussion. We chat about:
- the history behind the extreme party polarization we experience today.
- questions to ask yourself if you're still considering who to vote for in November.
- where we can place our hope as we move through this election season.
