How reliable would Jewish American voters be for the DP if President Clinton was giving Saddam Hussein 500lbs bombs to drop on Tel Aviv and vetoed resolutions recognizing Israel and then said that he valued Jewish life? It seems to me that there's perhaps a disconnect because of policy.

Gentrification is what we call it when demand exceeds supply. It is not caused by bike lanes. The answer is not to suppress demand by enshittifying cities, or to justify endangering & killing people outside of cars as a rent control mechanism, but to increase supply.

one thing to remember about "ICE is going to occupy Democrat strongholds" is that ICE, if it hires to capacity, will employ about 26k people by the end of 2026, which is 1/3 smaller than the NYPD, which is not a large enough police force to occupy New York City itself.
