Fellow Jews, it’s Time to Leave the Dems, Now

Attention, fellow Jews, especially those in the Democratic Party. It’s time for a mass exodus of our people from the Democratic Party. This call for Jews to leave the Democratic Party is not a joke, nor a prank. The Democratic Party continues to show us that we are no longer welcome in their so-called “big tent” party by the people they are promoting for election to Congress. I’m calling on each one of you to leave that party because they sure as hell don’t care about us.

The Democratic Party’s complicit response to the rise in antisemitism on the left ended it for me. I couldn’t believe the betrayal we saw in their lack of accountability. I left the party and haven’t looked back. You’d think that would have been a wake-up call for all of us, but our people, as you know, can be very stubborn.

The Democratic Party has gotten so much worse since the Hamas terror attacks by electing the worst kind of people, as well as by picking their spokesperson. Instead of being the big tent party they used to be, they now have selected classes of groups that they only care about; obviously, being Jewish isn’t one of them.

The New Democratic Party “spokesperson” who legacy media seems to love, Hasan Piker, has said plenty of antisemitic things. For example, Hasan has said, “Anyone expressing positive feelings towards Israel” should be treated like a “rabid neo Nazi.” The NYC Mayor, Zohran Mamdani, declined to answer whether or not Hamas should be disarmed. For a Jew, regardless of whether you’re American or Israeli, it should be shocking that he couldn’t answer a simple question like that.

Rashida Tlaib frequently chanted “from the river to the sea,” which has always been a clear call for the genocide of Jews. She and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar often used the dual-loyalty antisemitic tropes. The rest of the Democratic Party, influencers, and media not only remain complicit, but they also repeat Hamas’ talking points about the war in Israel without even researching the facts.

As you can see, this is just the tip of the iceberg of the new Democratic Party. The one Democratic Senator, John Fetterman, who stood for the Jewish community and Israel, was ostracized by his far-left constituents.

I don’t expect anyone to join the Republican Party, but I implore you to hear my warning and see that the Democratic Party is no longer a Jewish-friendly party. The only way to make change is to leave and stop giving them our support and votes.
