"On the left, the 'blame Israel' crowd causes people like Zohran Mamdani to be mayor of New York City."

As opposed to the entitled tool and sex pest Andrew Cuomo?

Israel could have been completely off the table in NYC and it would still have Mayor Mamdani. Cuomo represented the Eric Adams status quo. Mamdani campaigned on (and is governing by) channeling his inner Leslie Knope and SHOWING New Yorkers HOW a local gov't can serve its citizens, instead of using Gracie Mansion to hob-nob with the rich and famous.

While I'm sure "Israel" was a big issue last night in Michigan (AIPAC likely shot themselves in the foot by being such a major presence in this race[1]), it's not the fulcrum on which every American race since 10/7 pivots.

I somewhat disagree. I think the Gaza issue has united the far left in a way that would not happen absent that divisive issue.

There is a moral rot in this country that is becoming all encompassing and has filtered into every segment of our society. Trump has no morals or ethics and has been upfront about that for a very long time. Despite this he has transformed the GOP into an image of his likeness. While accusations of Trump being a Hitler ring hollow, he has welcomed a white supremist faction into the GOP with JD Vance leading it.

The Democrats though openly embrace every deviancy know to man into their folds. They control our education system and media spreading their pet causes into every facet of our society. Similar to the Nazis and the Soviets, the modern day Democratic party openly embrace the antisemites and communists into their midst. How can the Squad and DSA candidates take an oath of office to uphold the constitution when their intent is to tear it all down and rebuild our nation into a Marxist society? How are our courts filled with judges who use the law to shape their and the Dems agendas rather than being impartial arbitrators of the law.

Despite all of this the talking heads say to vote for the D or the R because warts and all, they're better than the other side. There once was talk about the silent majority and how it will rise up to save the country and the world. Well, where are they? The American people have become too much like the German people leading up to WW II. As the Nazis and communists battle for control of the country too many refuse to acknowledge all of the warning signs and blindly accept the moral decay all around them. Like Nazis and Communists, Democrats and Republicans are two heads of the same coin and the Jews are the one who have historically borne the brunt of this evil.
