Jewish leaders in Michigan are circulating an open letter urging Jewish Democrats and independents in the battleground state to sign their names in support of former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) as he faces Abdul El-Sayed, the far-left Democratic nominee for Senate whose hostile positions on Israel have alarmed many Jewish voters.
The letter, which was obtained by Jewish Insider on Wednesday and has not yet been publicized, is led by Eric Bronstein, a Detroit businessman, among others identifying as Democrats and independents.
It came to light after a fundraiser for Rogers on Tuesday night hosted by three prominent Jewish Democratic bundlers in Michigan who are likewise alarmed by El-Sayed’s candidacy. The growing efforts among Jewish Democrats to rally support for Rogers in the key Senate race illustrate the degree to which El-Sayed has alienated a sizable and politically active swing voting bloc in what is expected to be a close election.
Should be corrected to “Michigan Jewish conservatives pretending to be Dems circulars letter…”
Even more accurate would be Michigan Zionists. Don’t let them get away with pretending this is about Judaism. Its about denying the liberation of the Palestinian people and continuing the ongoing oppression and genocide.
No pretending going on here. For a lot of establishment Democrats this has been standard operating procedure. We absolutely need to change what a Democrat is and make it not include people like them though. And the fact they’re reacting like this. Indicates that they know just how painfully vulnerable they are now that the DSA is directly targeting them and not just running third party.
No, the title is accurate. There are a bunch of people that I’ve run into that flat out said if the DSA candidate for governor on my state won, they’d vote Republican.
Some people here in the Midwest have IQs that rival the average temp, it fucking sucks to hear that they’d rather support the people murdering people in the street over a DSA candidate.
In all fairness, no one really knows what “Dem” even means anymore, besides a vague promise to not be as awful as the republicans, which the dems dont live up to where Israel is concerned.
