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.

If 45% of Dem leaning Jews question Israel's policies, and 80% of Dems in general question Israel's policies, how should a congressman or Senator represent them?

By questioning Israel's policies and by pushing back against actions or rhetoric that make conditions more dangerous for Jews, including Jews that both question Israel's policies and want Israel to continue to exist as a Jewish state. Which is probably most Democratic Jews.

Logic dictates that, if "mainline" Dems are fighting against the Dem candidate, tooth and nail, they prefer the GOP candidate.

Is the same true of Uncommitted, then? Did they prefer Donald Trump? Or did they seek to use withholding of support to try to get Harris to move towards them and then win the seat?

I think your logic is flawed. The Democrats don't prefer the GOP candidate, they just want El-Sayed to push back against what they think is a bad position.
