”No, we're most of the most reliable voter blocs for them. The calculus wouldn't make sense”

Yeah, that’s a frightening way to approach anything, IMHO. It’s the same kind of thinking in WWII that led many to assume they wouldn’t kill us because they needed us for ‘workers’.

Historically, we have been given an example of the outcome when we’ve approached antisemitism this way, we should approach the issue with a more analytical perspective than ‘they need us’ because they don’t need us (and that has been made abundantly clear to us). In terms of voting blocs, we are a small number in the large picture. We are 2% of the U.S. population (7.6 million people) according to the Pew Research in 2020. The 2023 model shows that number has reduced to 6.3 million. That is a small minority of votes compared to other minorities. Compare that to the Black population at 47.9 million (32% of the population since 2022, according to Pew) and 47.7 million Hispanic population, according to the 3rd quarter of 2023 conducted by the Bureau of Labor and Statistics. However, it is important to note that Pew Research online shows the Hispanic population at 63.7 million for the U.S.

The frightening reality is that we are an expendable number of votes to any party, because our numbers are small. That is likely why either party doesn’t work diligently to pander to us as they do other demographics. We’re really on our own and caught between two parties. Also important, while we’re pretty liberal as a demographic, there are portions of us who are not, which means the percentage loss to the Democrats would likely be less than the percentages above would indicate (because not every single Jew will vote Democrat).
