Re: Make it better game
As 2021 fizzes out, yes, I can see how you'd want to make things better and one ray of sunshine in the gloom (I presume it's gloomy where you are) we can all look forward to in the coming twelvemonth is the 2022 midterm election.
There will be all sorts of self-opinionated tipsters out there offering advice or even standing as candidates. “Don't take my word for it,” they'll say intending you do do exactly that. “Read their policy statements..”
Then they'll bring on some showy entertainment, if well funded, otherwise they'd just start muttering gibberish – Episcopalians will be familiar with this of course – or offer you inane pamphlets with dubious proposals hoping you've never mastered basic arithmetic.
Jesus also met derelicts and although their plight was dire and they probably smelled strongly of foreign-sounding vegetables left to go off, He didn't leave them in that condition. Can we say the bum with the polling tips has ever known Christ? Or is he offended by the Good News of Salvation.
Making things better is not a game but hard work and it hardly needs saying but I'll say it anyway: never listen to a derelict's polling tips.

Matthew 11:4-6 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

You would not be advised to try those, being a heretic and not covered by God's assurance in Mark 16:9-20.
