The Democrats and the left in general are now fully nihilist. That is, they reject all facts which clash with their ideology and all human values, honesty, competence, integrity, excellence, beauty, etc. as such. So they do not have anybody's back except those who are blindly unthinking left wing. In my view, any Jew who sides with the Democrats will be tested by having to choose between freedom and individual rights, Israel, and in general, the good and their attachment to the Democratic party because the left does not tolerate freedom of opinion.

“The Democratic Party didn’t abandon the Jews, the Jews abandoned themselves by accepting antisemitism from the party, refusing to hold it accountable, lowering their expectations, refocusing around general social justice while ignoring their interests and even their survival.” Substitute “Catholic” for Jew and thus would still be a true statement. The Democrats have become the useful idiot party for the Muslims.

You could tell the same story for every other constituency duped into the Democrat fold; blacks, blue color labor, hispanics, women. All dumped whenever it becomes expedient.

Hatred of the Jews and Israel represents hatred of western civilization, the values of the Enlightenment and the founding principles of the United States of America.

Agreed. Remember that communists committed massacres of Jews in Poland and Russia.

This has always been true. The Jews, like the unions, give their complete loyalty to a political organization that historically supported slavery, low pay for the workers who do the hardest jobs ( thereby being filled by the lowest common denominator) and trapping millions in a never-quite-good-enough, endless cycle of poverty, and dependence on the few that are inept but rise to rule. Jews are now being harassed and beaten in universities and large cities, union members are discovering that the union only supports a handful of useless, over-promoted layabouts while the membership suffers. I firmly believe that neither will revolt and demand freedom, not even when they are all too poor and downtrodden to resist with any impact. In other words, slaves again. 🤷‍♀️

Always the victim - so fucking tedious.

The Democrat Party served quite well as a platform for Jewish politicians for decades - regardless of your cherry-picked list of alleged betrayals.

Your real complaint is that a growing portion of the party adherents no longer back your agenda like good little sheep.

I guess all the manipulations surrounding the overall ethnic & religious make up of the country has backfired. You reap what you sow.

Thanks, Dan. AIPAC is firmly in charge of both parties and every president in recent memory. But the lobby is aggrieved? Tone deaf. Israel has become a pariah in the world and it started when they gassed 30,000 men, women and children in Lebanon in 1982, which birthed Hezbollah. Hard to say they haven’t been the aggressor since…but the narrative is as always the underdog. While our politicians haven’t had enough yet (AIPAC $, 525 out of 535 get it), their constituents clearly have. It’s not about anti-semitism; it’s about genocide.

Now Jim, we can never let the FACTS get in the way of the propaganda because FACTS are anti-semitic!

The fact that Israel and their warmongering government is trying to bind the U.S. to them through the corrupt Congress they have bought through the NDAA is just one more example of their pathological behavior and the treason that permeates the corrupt duopoly.

The NDAA thing is unbelievable under any circumstances but now? With Bibi, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and the West Bank…yes, as the writer said, the D’s never were with Israel. What bullshit. They owned the Democratic Party and still do, for the moment. But consider the last vote Israel needed in the Senate: 40 D’s in the caucus voted against while seven - led by Chuck - voted with the R’s. Tellingly, in my state of CT, Senator Murphy was with the 40 against and he’s been against Schumer; my other senator, Blumenthal, voted with the seven. Welcome to the civil war in the Democratic Party, just in time for the worst president and party to win again.

They need the NDAA scam to work because otherwise they are truly fucked. All but the most corrupt (politicians) and the Israeli-firsters now understand just how badly the U.S. has been fucked over by our “greatest ally”.

But if the people are going to have any chance of steering the country on to a better course the corrupt duopoly has to be destroyed now.
