寻求参议院席位的进步派人士正借鉴共和党同行数十年来的做法，将信仰作为政治工具，与选民建立联系。
三名角逐参议院席位的进步派民主党候选人——佛罗里达州众议员安吉·尼克松、阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德以及得克萨斯州众议员詹姆斯·塔拉利科——在本届中期选举中迅速崛起，他们都有与民主党主流阵营背道而驰的倾向。
他们还将自身的宗教信仰融入竞选活动和向选民传递的信息中，这让人联想到上世纪70年代末共和党“道德多数派”联盟，当时前总统罗纳德·里根竞选期间，共和党人试图将政策与基督教绑定。

尼克松在华盛顿民主党主流阵营支持的、曾在唐纳德·特朗普首次弹劾审判中担任关键人物的亚历山大·温特曼身上实现重大爆冷，也因与美国民主社会主义者（DSA）的联系成为共和党人的主要攻击目标。
上周在佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔圣保罗非裔卫理公会圣公会的布道中，即将于11月与佛罗里达州共和党参议员阿什利·穆迪对决的尼克松称，她的“激进”立场与耶稣基督的理念相似。
“他们在试图，各位，他们在试图……给我贴上极端分子、激进分子的标签。但你们知道吗，耶稣就是个激进分子，”尼克松说道。
埃尔赛义德在被问及社会主义观点时也将耶稣与激进主义相提并论：“在他那个时代，他也是激进分子”
“耶稣所争取的——我的意思是，他推动的正是我如今为之奋斗的一切，对吗？就在当下，我们正身处民权时刻，”她继续说道，“不管人们愿不愿意相信，但事实就是如此。”
她于6月加入美国民主社会主义者协会，随即遭到参议院共和党竞选机构全国共和党参议员委员会（NRSC）的强烈反对，该委员会将她与社会主义挂钩，尽管尼克松否认自己是民主社会主义者。
尼克松并不是三人中唯一做出此类类比的人。
今年5月在《进步基督徒播客》节目中亮相时，埃尔赛义德在被问及政策立场时同样援引了耶稣。身为穆斯林的埃尔赛义德正在密歇根州的势均力敌的竞选活动中挑战前众议员迈克·罗杰斯，当时他被问及自己的信仰与基督教的相似之处，以及为何他们被贴上激进分子的标签。
“嗯，你们知道吗，耶稣，愿他平安与祝福降临，在他那个时代也被视为激进分子，”埃尔赛义德说道。
詹姆斯·塔拉利科在被问及“上帝是非二元的”等言论时承认过往评论“不得当”
“在腐败时代愿意挺身而出，本身就带有激进的特质，我认为我们所有人都应该意识到，受欢迎程度和时代精神并不能代表真理。我们生活在一个人们试图将腐败正常化的时代，”他继续说道。
三人中，塔拉利科最公开地展示自己的信仰。他一直在神学院学习，以期成为长老会牧师，自去年宣布参选以来，他一直将基督教与自己的政策纲领相结合。
和其他两人一样，共和党人也抓住他利用信仰作为攻击点，尤其是在他为跨性别儿童辩护的问题上。
在2021年反对得克萨斯州共和党新签署的反跨性别法案时，塔拉利科辩称，得克萨斯州共和党人试图“以上帝律法的名义”为该法案正名。
“《圣经》的前两句话，《创世记》的前两句话，用了两个不同的希伯来语词来描述上帝。一个是表示神性的阳性希伯来名词，”塔拉利科说道，“第二个是表示圣灵的阴性希伯来名词。上帝兼具男性和女性特质，以及其间的一切。”
“上帝是非二元的，”他说道。

‘Jesus was a radical’: Progressives invoke Christ to sell left-wing agenda on campaign trail
Christ ‘pushed for the same things that I’m fighting for today,’ Angie Nixon tells congregants

Progressives seeking a seat in the Senate are taking a decades-old page from their Republican counterparts, using faith as a political tool to build connections with voters.
Three progressive Democratic candidates running for the Senate, Florida state Rep. Angie Nixon, Abdul El-Sayed and Texas state Rep. James Talarico, share a penchant for bucking the Democratic establishment in their meteoric rise this midterm cycle.
They have also incorporated their religions and faiths into their campaigns and messaging to voters, showing shades of the “Moral Majority” coalition that formed during the late 1970s in the GOP when former President Ronald Reagan was running as Republicans sought to tie policy to Christianity.

Nixon, who scored a major upset against Alexander Vindman, a major figure during President Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial who was backed by the Democratic establishment in Washington, D.C., has become a prime target for the GOP because of her connection to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
During a sermon last week at the Saint Paul AME Church of Jacksonville, Fla., Nixon, who will face Sen. Ashley Moody, R-Fla., in November, contended that her “radical” positions were akin to those of Jesus Christ.
“They are trying, y’all. They are trying … to label me as this extremist, this radical. But, you know, Jesus was a radical,” Nixon said.
EL-SAYED MAKES JESUS COMPARISON WHEN PRESSED ON SOCIALIST VIEWS: ‘RADICAL IN HIS TIME, TOO’
“And Jesus fought for — I mean, he pushed for the same things that I’m fighting for today, right? Right now, we’re literally in a civil rights moment,” she continued. “Whether or not people wanna believe it or not, but we are.”
She joined the DSA in June, prompting immediate backlash from the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), the Senate GOP’s campaign arm, which tied her to socialism, despite her denial that she’s a Democratic socialist.
Nixon isn’t the only one of the three to make the same comparison.
El-Sayed, during an appearance on the Progressive Christians Podcast that aired in May, similarly invoked Christ when asked about his policy positions. El-Sayed, who is Muslim and running in Michigan’s toss-up race against former Rep. Mike Rogers, was asked about the similarities between his faith and Christianity and why they were being targeted as radical.
“Well, you know, Jesus, peace and blessings be upon him, was considered radical in his time, too,” El-Sayed said.
JAMES TALARICO ADMITS PAST COMMENTS ‘MISSED THE MARK’ WHEN CONFRONTED ON CLAIMS LIKE GOD IS ‘NON-BINARY’
“And there is a radical nature to being willing to stand forthright in a time of corruption, and I think it’s important for all of us to realize that popularity and zeitgeist don’t make truth. And we live in a time where people are trying to normalize corruption,” he continued.
Of the three, Talarico, who is running in the toss-up race against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, has displayed his faith the most. He has been taking seminary classes to become a Presbyterian minister, and has blended Christianity with his policy platform since launching his candidacy last year.
And like the others, Republicans have pounced on his use of faith as a point of attack, particularly in his defense of transgender children.

In pushing back against the Texas GOP’s newly signed anti-trans bill in 2021, Talarico argued Texas Republicans were trying to justify the measure “in the name of God’s law.”
“The first two lines of the Bible, the first two lines in Genesis, use two different Hebrew words to describe God. One is the masculine Hebrew noun for divinity,” Talarico said. “The second is the feminine Hebrew noun for spirit. God is both masculine and feminine, and everything in between.”
“God is non-binary,” he said.
