Given their self-identification, it's unlikely that Jewish Americans will break from their Democratic ways.

Silly comment. What percentage of blacks were Republican from 1860 to 1964? What percentage were from 1976 to today? Those biases can be changed relatively quickly by the right circumstances.

I get so sick of hearing this, so let me correct the article and any like it.

NOBODY VOTES "DEMOCRATIC!" EVER! That is as inaccurate as stating that we live in a Democracy when we live in a Republic.

They vote "Democrat" and while Democrats these days believe in "democracy;" they are hardly "democratic."

The Holocaust is central to their identity as slavery is to many blacks. I found that interesting.

I find it telling that the article goes into minute detail and extended depth as to why Jews believe this or that or vote a certain way. The most telling aspect of the article is that it neglects to mention that the Jewish population of the US is between 2 and 3% last time I checked.

If you identify as a Democrat, you are far more likely to vote Democratic than if you identify as an independent or a Republican.

I have been siding with Jews in International issues since I was in high school 50 years ago, but I am now done with them. They overwhelmingly vote DemoRat and helped elect an antisemite President here. So, they are on their own as far as I am concerned. Screw them.

People who place a disproportionate importance on their genital activities tend to vote Democrat. Take Bill and Hillary for example. He could not wait to get home from church on Easter Sunday in order to be fellated by Monica. And then there’s Hillary with her lesbian assistant - wife to Weiner. Now there’s Weiner who thinks his genitals are more important than most people care. You can go down the list of Democrats who fill the bill.

I am a Conservative, Republican Jew and this is my take:

Jews vote for Liberal causes because they suffer from the disease of blind Liberalism and historically have always welcomed CHANGE, progress, justice and diversity. Who would have known that these factors would get completely out of control?

Jews as the underdog throughout history forced them into a position where they always sought change, usually via some kind of radical or revolutionary movement. From Socialism, Communism, women's suffrage, Worker's rights, civil rights, women's rights and anti-war movements, they've always focused on changing a status quo because JEWS ARE NEVER SATISFIED with the current state of affairs.They always dream of improving something or some group (other than their own, for example, in Israel too).

They wanted to improve their standing in every nation they resided in. Can you blame them? Unfortunately almost all of these waves of change that they participated in backfired on them.

I do not understand, why such an ancient and persecuted people like the Jews still CLING to causes that do not help them.

In the Bible, it states that the Hebrews were (are) a “stiff-necked” people, (stubborn). It is my challenge to twist those stiff necks into leather necks. I am not giving up, it is a lifetime battle.

I suspect many Jews became lifelong Jews when they first came to the U.S. back in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The Dem Party was the party that readily accepted immigrants into its fold while the Republican Party, run by the eastern country club elites in those days, rejected immigrants....especially Jews. Rich, Protestant elites who voted Republican were the ones who kept Jews out of their country clubs and discriminated against them in other areas. Attitudes die hard.

2,000 years of oppression has made Jews wary. The Democrats have been very good at exploiting that wariness. I can’t seem to get it through the thick skulls of my stiff-necked fellow Jews that modern America is different, and why it is different.

At last! A succinct and plausible explanation.

Article should have used the term American Jews, not Jewish Americans.

I always thought it had something to do with self-loathing, that many Jews vote Democrat because they want the kind of Hitlerian gun control that will make it easy for a future oppressive government to herd them into the boxcars. It’s like a suicide wish or something. (shrug) Whatever the reason, voting Democrat is pretty perverse to begin with, but especially irrational for Jews.

A Jewish American Princess’s idea of visiting the countryside is roughing it one night in a hotel suite in flyover country. Jews mostly live in cities, and people that live in a commune reliably vote communist. Left vs. right affiliation is more about population density than anything else.

Lol

I can only imagine how this is going.

Personally...
When you replace Gods word with a worship of humanism and creating heaven on earth this is what you get

Levin sorta explains it unintentionally in Ameritopia

Some buck the upbringing though.....must always qualify lest the bounds be unleashed

Grievance politics unites disparate minorities in unthinking opposition to the majority, even against rational self interest. The politics of grievance is an unthinking ersatz ethnic loyalty, wherein one defines oneself in opposition, rather than in being. It leads Jews to support political correctness, immigration of Muslims, and Third Worldism, even though these are all against their rational self interest as an Americans or as a Jews. It leads black leaders to support immigration, liberal social politics, and objectively failing education and social models. Alienation and grievance politics leads immigrants to support many of the policies they fled from. (This isn't just a minority issue. Think how many liberal economic emigres overwhelm formerly conservative areas. They flee taxes but demand the social welfare state, spreading the disease.) The children of immigrant minorities are inherently alienated. (I know, I am one, despite being brought up among the NY elite.) They benefit from affirmative action and see government as their protector against the majority. Any failure of the state to create a perfect life for them is not the failure of the nanny state but the fault of conservatives and the majority.
Grievance politics rots the mind. It is indicative of a collective mental illness.
Don't expect non-Orthodox Jews to wake up. Those who do face ostracism. (Not to mention financial cost, since most corporations in cities are profoundly PC.)

They don’t learn from history which is sad because it was only recently Jews were almost eliminated as a culture by a charismatic socialist leader that surrounded himself with a sycophantic media complex, vowed to control the economy through coercion, created his own domestic army of activists and has his own logo with his devoted followers creating a hand salute.
Now, as a group they support this.
