Summary

This quote suggests that during elections, the majority of voters decide who to support based on the candidate they dislike the least, rather than on the merits or qualities of the person they are voting for. It implies that people tend to focus more on the negatives of the opposing candidate rather than actively seeking positive reasons to support a particular individual. Ultimately, it indicates that the outcome of elections is often determined by voters' negative perceptions rather than positive preferences.

Therefore, my discouragement is from Satan. As you go through the emotions that we have, hostility is not from God, bitterness, unforgiveness, all of these are attacks from Satan.
