Dear Rep. Bonamici and Congressional Democrats:
I was recently made aware that the ratio of calls to Congressional Democrats’ offices have been running 6 to 1 in favor of Hamas and Iran over Israel. I thought I’d take a moment to share why that is.
Quite simply, it’s because we’ve seen that Democrats have long since abandoned reliable moderate Jewish voters, in hopes of attracting new, radical Muslim and leftist voters. Just as you abandoned the girls running at the Sherwood, Oregon track meet this weekend, in favor of catering to the wealthy trans lobby, allowing a boy to beat them.
I could make a whole list of other abandoned voters: Property owners who’ve been victimized by squatters and tent encampments. Commuters whose rights always run second to those of protestors. Law enforcement officers who are expected to tolerate violence at the hands of spoiled adult children of such eminent Democrats as Tim Kaine and Katherine Clark. Merchants who’ve been told they simply have to accept widespread theft. American spouses of would-be legal immigrants spending a fortune on lawyers, while illegal immigrants are gifted thousands in prizes. And all manner of just regular Americans, abandoned in favor of the petty and violent criminals who prey on the weak.
So no: Congressional Democrats won’t be hearing from most of your old reliable Jewish supporters again. Just as you won’t be hearing from the middle and working class voters you once proudly claimed.
But please do convey my warmest regards to Sen. John Fetterman and Rep. Ritchie Torres.
Sincerely,
Another Jewish, feminist, once-liberal voter abandoned by Democrats

It's not enough.

Do you think a sizable number of liberal Jews will abandon the democrat party over their support for Hamas? I know plenty of liberal Jews who won't even acknowledge that nearly all support for Hamas or animus toward Jews and Israel comes from the left.

I really don’t know. As with the parents of female athletes and the other abandoned voters I listed (and many others I failed to list!), we’ll have to see if Republicans can manage to get their act together enough to attract them. And even then the GOP will have to overcome the Democrats’ massive structural advantage in states where mass mail-in voting and ballot-harvesting are done.

How much more do you think Republicans have to do, in addition to what Democrats have done?
I'm not sure I can have any sympathy for people who think Republicans have to do more.

It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the 33,000-odd Palestinian women and children killed by the Israelis. It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the attempt to starve a population of over 2 million.
No, of course not. What was I thinking? You must be right, that it's entirely caused by the Democrats' efforts to attract radical Muslim and leftist voters.
