Plenty of Israeli politicians are pushing for recognition of the Armenian genocide.

Is it OK to say Sanders doesn’t understand real America because he lives in a tiny all-white state? Or is on record saying identity politics is bull?

Is it part of his identity? Most voters didn’t even know he was Jewish in 2016. He certainly doesn’t practice it in any identifiable way. And he certainly doesn’t seem to stand up for the Jewish community (not a criticism, just a note on being visibly Jewish). So I don’t see why his Judaism shouldn’t be erased when he…

Uh, there are a few million Jews out there who are very decidedly not white (Ashkenazi). Can we not erase them please?

That’s not how biology or evolution works! /s

Every Dem candidate I’ve volunteered for did just that - focus on turning out the base. Canvassers are pretty much asked to not really interact with folks not identified as likely Dem voters. GOTV folks only go to residences with folks who told a canvasser they’d vote for your candidate. It’s the same deal for phone ba…

This seems like a weird distinction to make. One way to make sure people choose the more sustainable option are various economic incentives or disincentives (like carbon taxes). The companies you are for some reason defending are spending tons of money to make sure that doesn’t happen. All I the consumer am asking is…

Does it bother you that by gaslighting Jews about Omar’s tweets and somehow painting us as culprits in this administration, you’re doing exactly what Trump wants?

Oh I don’t know. I mean I’ve camped on canoe trips, and the canoe slamming into the shore, if not brought onto land, can really keep you awake at night. I’ve always thought - if only I could be in that canoe, but if it were less sturdy.

Just in case you care - when you say group A can be pretty awesome, but then spend more words on an example of a really not-awesome member - that is saying something about us collectively. It says that unless all of us are out there in the streets fighting Trump, we’re falling short. Because the default assumption…

As a Jew who has put her body on the line to resist fascism and for greater equality... but who also doesn’t love the current trend by some Representatives to incite Republican outrage centered around Jews for the sake of publicity, I find your comment deeply offensive. Your coworker’s personal failings are his own,…

The NYT has been pushing this line forever. And I’m glad that there’s now such an extra stellar example of just how racist that is. Because it is possible to say that a Rep of a blue district in a red state may not have equal appeal in the rest of that state, and the blue and red communities may have different…

Out of curiosity, have you taken a look at all those amendments? Speaking of progressive policies and all.

Possibly referring to abuse of that term by current Russian gov’t.

Not really - appeals for death row inmates tend to be more expensive then housing them for life. And - as one of those taxpayers you speak of - I find it much more problematic to have my taxpayer $$$ funding what is essentially murder.

Why is it that every time the Holocaust is mentioned some people feel impelled to make random comparisons with the State of Israel? (/s)

The gazillion Dem candidates running are also an issue. Depending on how the primaries go, the winner may have plenty of ill-will with the voting base they’ll need. Not to mention that this whole primary year, Trump is basically running his re-election campaign.

Do we know this is true? In 2016, his own followers called him a sellout for eventually throwing his support behind Hillary.

What would he bring to the ticket as VP?

Thank you. Being continuously labeled as subhuman foreigners, to be kept apart and harassed at will, is as much a part of Jewish history as the gas chambers.
