Why are so many Jews Democrats?

[LuvRPgrl]

Amazing to me how they in particular don't see the similarities. Jews in Israel seem for the most part to be more conservative, I suppose that comes from living with terrorism for the last 1000 years. Maybe some day the liberals in this country will wise up??

Harsher conditions tend to make people more conservative.

When I go to the Philippines, I am amazed at how much more common sense I discover than my travels in southern California.

It would seem that whenever people fall on hard times, it is then they finally grow up and wise up. In countries like third world ones they arent' given a choice or the time to be idealistic.

I'd like an explanation of why people in the Phillipines show more common
sense than those in So. California. I also call into question that people
become more conservative in hard times if that refers to their belief system.
Pragmatically, they must be more conservative because they are less able
to afford the necessities of life.

they're a race when it's time for minority protections, but not a race in the face of accusations of racism. It's a pretty good setup. It's not a simple matter for jew or non jews.

Bingo---they have can have their cake and eat it too in this regard.
