Tom Steyer is half Jewish (I checked) and unless you consider the Washington Post to be part of some anti-semitic conspiracy more than half of Democrat political donations come from Jews.
Tell you what. Show me some evidence that it isn’t true. I looked and couldn’t find any.
You’re throwing up one article as fact, and asking me to do the research.
How about thinking about it this way. Jews are not a unified group, as far as I can tell. I was brought up with a lot of Jewish influence, but don’t count myself as Jewish. If there’s some inner, rich club that controls US politics through donations, I wish someone had told me about it.
Jews aren’t a unified group. In fact, I can’t figure out why they have supported the Democrats in the past 20 years with such a majority, when it’s obvious they are anti-Israel and wish it would disappear. It doesn’t make any sense. I can’t believe that Jewish interests are shaping Democrat policies when it seems obvious that Democrats don’t like them.
The best I can figure is that many political affiliations become lasting choices, like your favorite coffee brand. In the past, a couple of generations ago, the Dems supported labor (and many Jews were poor and hoped unions would help them) and Israel. Once the decision was made, it wasn’t rethought, even though it’s clear today’s Democratic Party isn’t what it used to be.
As to the money, if what you say is true, Jews would have to have an extremely outsized portion of the available money in the US relative to their percentage of the population, and be rather unified in their beliefs and application of that money, and moreover, it would seem to be contrary to their interests. That seems shadowy and paranoid to me. In any event, none of my relatives ever spoke about that special club or invited me into it.
