Hm, let me think about that for a moment. Why would Jews refuse to vote for the party that openly endorses Christian supremacy and promotes antisemitism and instead choose to vote for the party that generally doesn't? That's a tough question.

As for your article itself—

American Jews overwhelmingly tend to vote Democrat...

Strike one. Referring to the Democratic Party as the "Democrat Party" is a shibboleth of the extreme right. Almost no one who says it ever goes on to say anything worthwhile.

...for one simple reason: they see the choice as being between 1) the Democrats and their belief in nothing...

Strike two. Referring to the Democrats as "believing in nothing" shows a mind-boggling level of ignorance. In fact, the Democratic Party is at least somewhat of an open tent— the people who control the party share most of the same right-wing ideology as the Republicans, but centrists and even liberals are allowed to put a "D" next to their names as well.

...versus 2) the Republicans and their beliefs based on their Christian faith and heritage.
Given that choice, then, rather than side with people of faith – which they see as a different and potentially antagonistic belief system...


Strike three. Completely ignoring the history of Christian antisemitism, the myth that Jews killed Jesus (which is somehow supposed to be a bad thing, despite Jesus dying being a good thing), the pogroms and the fucking Holocaust in favour of declaring that, well, they totes believe in a magic man too so we're all big one happy family.

Chicagomotorman, that is the most antisemitic article I've seen today. I'm offended at the article and at how dumb you must be to take it seriously.

If it manages to redeem itself six paragraphs in, feel free to post the relevant bit— I'm not betting on it, so I have no intention to wade through such a vast pile of bullshit.
