Hasidic Jews for Trump

[alistair]

Anyone think that King C's. new edicts will push enough Hasidic & Orthodox Jews to vote for Trump in November that NYS may turn Republican?

No.

Agreed. The persistence of certain voting patterns never ceases to amaze me.

Agree!!

Considering that DemonRats are inveterate anti-Semites, and always have been, it is mind-boggling.

The ultra orthodox don't follow the same voting patterns as more secular Jews. It will be interesting to see how they vote this time, and in the next governor's race.

Hassidic Jews are social conservatives. However they are not political and will vote how their Rabbis tell them. There are a number of different factions. Each faction votes as a block. So to get their vote a politician has to suck up to their Rabbi. In many ways it is more sophisticated than being serenaded on talk radio and urged to vote for politicians based on empty lip service and scare tactics.
They actually get something for their votes.

Those NYC politicians are totally aware of this system and how it works. But Lord knows those Rabbi's that dictate bloc voting can't be bought off, yeah, right.

Suck up? More like pay off the Rabbi

I saw this the other day and found it interesting. I don't believe the majority of the Ultra-Orthodox vote will got to Trump. However, I wonder if the Hasidim will remember this next time there's a Governor's race.

And as @Mosinitis stated they're not quite the monolith many believe them to be. There are various factions that support various candidates/parties. When I was campaigning there were several Hasdic representatives at the Republican political meetings/gatherings. I bet the Democrats had an equal number at theirs just from different factions.

Politicians take bribes, they don't give bribes.

Well to be fair, they sell public property and favors for votes and cash.

It's not too much of a stretch to call both directions of one of those transactions a bribe.

If it benefits the whole community, instead of just the Rabbi, it's not a bribe to the Rabbi.

 

[Mosinitis]

Apparently civil unrest catches on. Oy vey.

If it benefits that Rabbi's congregation at the expense of the other taxpayers it is.

. Sure buying a bloc vote would never cross their minds.

When was the last time a politician was indicted for giving bribes to community leader in exchanged for endorsement?

 

[Mosinitis]

That's community leader doing his job. If Rabbi took the money to act not in the best interest of his community, that would be a bribe.

How many people do you need in your "community" for it to be legitimate ?

Whatever it is called it is underhanded and people should be in jail for it.

To be fair, a lot of their celebrations look very similar - especially before Passover when they have to burn all the bread in the house.

The big difference between these guys and the BLM/antifa crowd is that the orthodox guys aren't destroying private property. More civil disobedience than burn / loot, etc.

In any case, this will not help endear Monkey face to this community. He tried to dodge blame by sticking NYC and local health departmsnts with enforcement, but luckily the pushback is going where it belongs.

At least it's a community of citizens, not a billionaire or corporation.

It's perfectly legal. Not only that, this is what politicians everywhere brag about.

Neither of those is evidence of ethical behavior.

The latter tends to be the opposite.

Corporation = community of shareholders.

Billionaire = leader of a community of hangers on.

Never said it was illegal. Just that the shit weasels should be locked up. I hate politics and despise career politicians.

Hasidic Jews are a sect.
You guys know that right?

Cult type of deal. Taliban grade stuff with women and children.
