The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Steve....

It's been awhile since I lived in Metro Detroit but I'd bet---- out of the sizable jewish population in the state....55-60% of that demographic votes Democratic.

And in a tribal, caste-sect society, tiny pockets of votes can make a difference because it's about the 1% win, NOT consensus any longer.

If it's a massive anti Trump wave then obviously Sayed wins. I dont know squat about Rogers so dunno if he's a good candidate.

BUT --I wonder if Democratic Jewish voters will behind the scenes come out for Rogers? I wonder how much quiet AIPAC money will be in play.

If a few candidates keep wining prominent office while loudly saying "I'm sick of being Israel's slave"---it's gonna start something new in American politics.

I gotta believe AIPAC and its cohorts know that --and won't let it happen without some sort of a fight?

I'm true to my word. I said-- that unlike Sheeple I don't get caught up in ancillary issues. "Blanche!" "Ballroom!" etc. I'm able to sacrifice most of what I want-in the the name of the BIG insurmountable goal in this case being, slowly seeing birth of a new politics, where our Ruling Class eventually won't be Israeli mules.

So while I'd be holding my nose, I'd say Sayed 2028.

Defund ICE? I don't give a shit -- if Sheeples want more tribalism, more polyglot, more mayhem - -shit, I hope they get it because they deserve it.

So for solely the Israel reason - -best of luck to Sayed. Will be interesting to see how Israel plays this one. Me? I'd fund a 3rd party Democrat and give it to Rogers but I dont foresee that happening this time.
