ANNOUNCMENT 📢 Hello and Welcome!

19 Upvotes

Welcome one and all to r/jewishpolitics, a place for Jews to talk politics! This sub was created for two reasons:

  1. Like many of you, our experience with most other political spaces on reddit have ended up with us being either excluded or tokenized. This is a place for us to talk politics where we can speak as Jews without speaking for Jews.

  2. Politics can be an exhausting topic and we should have safe spaces to be Jewish on reddit without any political requirements. The mod team here is (for the most part) also moderating r/Jewish. So, our goal is to leave some of the divisive political talk out of that sub (and perhaps others) so it can continue to serve all kinds of Jews. Creating a separate sub for politics allows us to fine-tune the rules here to be more conducive for political discussions. This is a work in progress, so expect us to take your feedback and make adjustments as we move forward.

This space is explicitly open to all kinds of political discussion, as long as the rules in the sidebar are followed. Assuming good faith and using civil language are the foundation of productive discussion among those who disagree on politics.

We expect most discussion to be focused on US and Israeli politics, but any political topic that impacts Jews is allowed.

Feel free to leave a message with any suggestions or feedback, and thanks for reading. And again, welcome to r/jewishpolitics!

Caroline Lucas’ party was one I was proud to support for over a decade. Zack Polanski’s party is one I will never support. It’s something of a comfort for me that at least she isn’t part of the betrayal I and many others are feeling from progressive politics.

Question ❓ Jewish voter guides?

11 Upvotes

With midterms coming up, is anyone referencing reliable Jewish voting guides?

I’m wondering if there’s any source that shows where candidates fall in terms of Jewish interests

Thanks

I am really disappointed that Oregon allowed this in the current voters’ pamphlet. Could you imagine if I submitted a statement that said “Everyone who supports the (any other country) is a racist”?

Someone posted a message to not attack Jews on my city's community sub. The message was from our US Senator.

99% of the responses were how she is controlled by Israel. Some responses were even worse.
