Dennis Prager argues that American Jews and Christians voting Democratic represents a form of self-harm, claiming they have been poisoned by leftist ideology. He questions why Jews in particular support the party and contrasts how cultural identity works differently for Christians versus Jews who leave the faith.
American Jews have been poisoned by the left, as have, by the way, vast numbers of Christians who then cease being Christian, or they take the leftism into the church, but usually they just cease being Christian. The question is always asked me, it's a completely legitimate one, how come so many Jews vote Democrat, vote for the left? It's a fully legitimate question since it's an act of suicide on the part of Jews. But nobody asks why do so many Christians vote for the left. Because when Christians leave Christianity, they're not called Christian. But when Jews leave Judaism, they're still called Jews. If everyone who was raised a Christian or born to Christian parents were called a Christian, you would have the same exact phenomenon. Of vast numbers of Christians who were on the left.
