And I'm proud to say, my siblings and I managed to get both our parents to rank Mamdani. Despite their old-fashioned zionist love of Israel, images of starving Palestinian children made them realize they do not want such war crimes on their consciences.

We have not yet gotten them to the point that, as Jews, they reject zionism, but we're getting there thanks to the Israeli LEFT, not that shit parading around as zionist left.

Written as a Jew supporting Mamdani and not falling for rightwing Likudnik/ADL hysterics.

I disagree JustAnotherGen Jul 23 #4

Actually it's an issue for ME - a Democrat who is appalled that Jeffries refuses to endorse the chosen Dem candidate. Nanjeanne Jul 23 #7

If that is your criteria, you must hate everyone in the Democratic Party... W_HAMILTON Jul 23 #9

I have no problem with primary protest votes. They can help form strategy in general election. Nanjeanne Jul 23 #14

It's sabotage that helps the GOP. Oopsie Daisy Jul 23 #20

Ok. Thanks for your opinion. Everyone is allowed to have one. Nanjeanne Jul 23 #22

Why would any Democrat pay attention to Hunter Biden? muriel_volestrangler Jul 23 #19

Because he confirmed what we knew all along JustAnotherGen Jul 23 #21

Oh, OK - I missed that you said he was talking about the support for Harris muriel_volestrangler Jul 24 #24

Yep - three hours with former Chair JustAnotherGen Jul 24 #25

Good. The party needs a strong nudge to the left and away from the Politics-as-usual anchor. Ping Tung Jul 23 #6

And not just that, but also the majority of the Jewish vote. vanessa_ca Jul 23 #8

Ditto all of that, vanessa_ca! choie Jul 23 #13
