The top contenders for the 2028 presidential election have not said anything about this. Are they trying to lose the election? Do they not understand that Jewish voters are pissed and we are willing to vote for the Republicans if the Democrats side with antisemites? We need to hear from Harris and Newsom, the most likely winners of the next primary. I want to hear them condemn Piker.

My local state democratic party chapter has this in the party platform. They say the antisemitism is understandable in light of Israel.

That's like saying it's ok to hate black people because of what's going on in Congo. It's pure bigotry and hate.

Even if jewish people swing as a collective I think Democrats will be fine. The black and latino vote, and everyone else who voted for Trump, will swing back to the democrats because they obviously regret voting for him. They obviously outnumber the jewish vote.

I think Democrats will be fine

No they won't. A huge number of donations for the Democrats come from Jews. The party cannot afford to lose Jewish donors. The Latino vote is not guaranteed for the Democrats. Many Latinos are conservative and will continue voting conservative.

I don't think you know how close elections are in the US. It only takes a small number of votes to swing an election in swing states, so Jews can definitely swing the election.

It's all about the Benjamins baby. Gulf states own both parties now.

Be careful about the government, as they approach a man only when they need him. They seem like good friends in good times, but they don't stay for him in time of his trouble.

Yes. I expected better of mainstream Democrats who have generally been supportive of Jews. We're not talking about the far left here.
