Holocaust survivors who joined the #walkaway movement have something to say.
I believe that Jews perceive that a Christian culture is their biggest threat based upon various persecutions in Europe over 1000 years. They wish for a secular state where they are more invisible. This Is short sighted and ignores the real anti semitism in their own political house
Where did you get the 70% number of Jews vote RAT? Is there a box on the ballot that we check Jewish on?
Jews voted for Obama at 77%. Jews are very liberal and too dumb not to vote for the Democrats who want to do another holocaust against the Jews.
Well, i just googled it and i found out i was wrong. It is 71% AICE. American Israeli cooperive enterprise. It seems legit. You tell me the numbers
BINGO!
I venture a guess that the percentage of conservative Jews is about the same as the percentage of conservative blacks. Too bad.
My fellow Jews who refuse to see the direction of the Democratic Party , and the Jewish Representatives and Senators are Jews in Name Only (JINOs). Their religion is Leftism and their drug of choice is Power.
Don’t let anyone bad mouth that statement. It’s got to be 71.9 percent accurate.
The intellectuals in the 1930’s learned to love Hitler too.
Not if you include the Orthodox. You can be African-American and conservative about many things and still vote Democrat. But that's quite not the case with Jews. Still there's usually only about a 10 percentage point difference in the Jewish (high 70s) and Black (high 80s) vote for Democrats. Reagan did better than usual among Jews (over 30%). Obama did better than usual among African-Americans (over 90%).
Frankly, the Dem Party leadership does not care if they lose the Jewish vote. They are casting their lot with the new electorate, exemplified by Omar and AOC, good little socialist haters and much more numerous than the tiny Jewish vote.. They can dress it up however they want, but that’s the truth. Anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, and yes... anti-American.
Some of us already have...more than we need, but less than we want.
Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership. I forgot about that one. Still there.
Nice way to miss the point, for those who don't know that South Carolina's own James Clyburn disgorged his own bigotry against Jews, another major problem for the Demagogic Party. Kindly remove your own heads from your asses, and keep their problem *their* problem.
“Its dumb b3cause I cannot figure out the stupidity of jews who espouse the party and ideology that hates their guts. So tell me a smart way to process that.”
I’ll give you an answer to the question “why do Jewish Americans so often vote Democrat” I saw from another website that I liked very much, highly edited now for the context:
1. The question is, itself curious, and strange thing to focus upon. Jewish people make up 1.7% of the electorate, so if every Jewish person in the USA voted Republican, every Presidential election since Reagan would have been the same. Bush v. Gore would have been a non-issue, but that’s about it. Maybe some local Florida races.
2. Most Jewish people in the USA are NE urban voters and over educated. They vote pretty much just like every other NE urban over educated group. So the issue is slightly overblown. I don’t see a lot of questions about Episcopalians.
3. Many second-wave Jewish people came from Europe/Russia when the two political choices were Communist (who promised equal treatment to all — a lie, yes, but a seductive lie) and various kind of Nationalist (who promised to kill the Jews and meant it). So there is an irrational ethnic fondness for the lies of commies. Bernie Sanders falls into this camp.
4. The Republican Party used to be the white shoe law firms, Lutherans, and country clubs. They didn´t like Jews much. (This the the running joke that was CaddyShack -— the Rodney Dangerfield character being what this crowd thinks about Jewish people.) Think James Baker “F—k the Jews, they don´t vote for us anyway.” There are echos of this idea any time these threads come up.
5. Going back to #3 a bit, Nationalism has historically been bad for Jews. Even now, we´re called “not really white” or “dual loyalty”. So Nationalism is logically viewed with skepticism.
6. Yeah, we do identify with victims of discrimination. Something like 1/4 Jewish people in the USA experience a serious incident of irrational violence or discrimination based on being Jewish — far higher than any other group. Thus we are often suckers for do-gooder programs.
7. And finally, there is evangelical Christianity, which I consider some of the finest, most earnest, people in the world.
And, no, contrary to what your extremely stupid post said, I am not afraid of evangelicals’ conversion attempts. Nor are any Jewish people I know about. Annoyed, bored, maybe.
What there is going on are lies promulgated by Democrat groups that the only reason Christians like Israel is to somehow force the End of the World as We Know It by . . . something. For example, here:
https://www.dailywire.com/news/44400/cenk-uygur-makes-outrageous-statement-about-anti-hank-berrien
A fair number of Democrat Jews will believe this lie.
Finally, there is hope. We Orthodox are growing much faster than the Reform. We have children; they have dogs.
We Orthodox vote Republican, more so than Southern Baptists.
Thank you for responding with a post that clearly took a large effort on your part. I generally agree and where I disagree would take a lot of time to respond ...but. I will address point 1 and 4. Regarding point 1, while the vote is not significant the megaphone that the Jewish community commands is far greater than a 1.7 percent influence. It feels like 30 percent or more. So that is probably the bigger frustration.......point 4....thee WASP/Lutheran society has provided a pretty good gig for Jews in this country. They want to risk communism (with it horrid track record for Jews) because there are private country clubs where Jew jokes are told? I mean that is a horrible trade. There is a 200 year history here of it working pretty good for the Jews so why not acknowledge it and focus on refining what works? Anyhow i these points would require more back and forth.
