Actually, it really isn't about the form of government. Rather it is about how the existing government should beI expected to behave. After all, voting on this candidate or that candidate doesn't change the form of government. It only changes the behavior of the existing government.This thread is about the form of government that Jesus would support. Not about what we should be doing in the meantime.
If we want our government to behave in a manner that comes closer to the way of life that Jesus taught, we have been given the opportunity to vote for those people who are most likely to move the government in that direction.
It is reasonable to say that if Jesus were given the opportunity to vote on how a government behaves that He would select candidates who would move the government in that direction. I would be unreasonable to say that He would deliberately vote to send the government against His teachings.
It makes His teachings worthless if we say we can't get guidance at all on the issue from Jesus.
I guess we do have options on the issue. Personally, I prefer to think He would cast a ballot which was most consistent with His teachings.
