How should Chrisitians go on about politics? What if morally a person is TERRIBLE but holds economy well?

In summary How would a Christian vote in politics?

I am aware we have to vote with caution, discernment and wisdom but imagine a scenario which happens in many countries like this running for president: examples:

Morally wrong person, who’s corrupt, shady things to benefit themselves and friends, history with prostution and affairs, unethical connections but beneficial to country, racist, and relationships with other countries that can bring peace to wars even if theyre bad or good, help growth BUT economy is one of the best in years despite these harsh traits.

Morally good person: they’re honest, stand up for what’s right, justice, believee in equality and claims to be Christian, donates to poor and helps homeless BUT their model doesn’t work well and harms the economy significantly, one of the worst in years and affects everyone around them despite being considered “good” and “fair”.

For politicians to get where they are of course they’re not a angel. They have connections, bribes, say what people want to hear, dirty deals, Hide things/lie.

Basically comprising their values because being fully honest and moral dosen’t always sell to public.

My point isnt all good people suck at holding economy and all bad people are good.

Before some people comment “nope never happens, not everyone’s corrupt your wrong because…, just because they make tough choices dosent make them unethical”

IM SAYING MY point is if their a scenario where we KNOW: a morally wrong person goes against Christian values and Jesus’s teachings but holds the economy incredible is running

OR

Vote for a person “morally” good, a demoted Christ follower believes in justice, equality, but they hold the economy terrible.

Which could possibly lead to destruction and

Remeber that the future of our country is at cost, that if we do vote for a “good” person and the economy sucks, no results because they refuse to make unethical or shady deals. Chaotic, starvation, bad healthcare, prices rise, jobs are lost, tons of business close, currency drops in value, food rent bills everything gets harder to afford and will have to suffer especially people with multiple jobs and low income and can cause violence and chaos.

OR

Morally bad: unethical connections, goes against christ teachings, etc… but holds economy great. But you have to live knowing they built that success on lies, corruption, mocked faith and sinful and that YOUR vote helped that case despite caring for the future of the economy WHICH you can use the success to help the poor and vulnerable by donating too food banks and charity with the success of the economy, job opportunities, education and health care that will save the future of the country and yourself.

Their isn’t a simple right or wrong, both carry consequences and moral weight that can go or go against Christian teachings whether be using for good or bad.

IMO: I’s about wrestling with a broken system while also trying to honor God.

Let me know what you would do from a Christian perspective? with this situation if it WAS to exist exactly like described.

I know this happens in the world, not all to this extent but it does exist. IMO: we can’t just choose to be silent because we don’t wanna be involved or feel guilty for the future.

So what you would do? (Sorry for yapping so much)
