I've always been very confused with Jews aligning themselves with the left. It's counterintuitive on every level.

I feel like it's in a Jew's best interest to align themselves with a party that is anti-crime, pro-Israel, pro-business, pro-self defense, pro-meritocracy, etc.

What gives?

Well, how long has the Democratic party actually been opposed to all those things you listed? Not very long, for lots of them, at least. Democrats were long seen as the dovish party, compared to the hawkish Republican party. We Jews tend to highly value compassion and empathy, so there's your answer. Radical leftism has somehow overtaken the Democratic party, and I think a lot of people are slow to catch up and realize what's going on. I see people every day (of all stripes) turning around and seeing what this leftism is. Myself included.

We Jews are our own worst enemies. Brilliant fools.

My wealthy WASP brother does the same thing, though. He openly boasts that he is voting against his own interests, as if it's the ultimate virtue signal.
