We are a big family. Democrats are true patriots that actually care about people. I'm seriously disappointed that Micah Lasher won in CD-12 by a little, and know he would never have won if Schlossberg had gotten over his ego, and a massive majority of Democrats voted only on their religion. I think Mamdani relented in this case by not endorsing Bores, and others really wanted to keep the CD Jewish, as the largest concentration in the US of extremely wealthy, wealthy, upper class, and middle class Jews live in the district. That's not a problem, but a fact. But our Governor Hochul making shit up about Lasher's actual accomplishments was too much to take. It is what it is. We had people in our district saying they would have voted for Alex Bores had he not marched in the Jewish pride parade. He marched with his Jewish wife, who I am positive he is very proud of. Alex isn't anti-Jewish. The performative one issue only voting does nothing to help anyone. It will not sell outside of very big cities, because they don't have the luxury of tolerating the multiple crises caused by Republicans. I still can't afford food, health care, housing, transportation and vacations are out of the question. I hope all the Democrats nationwide realize that being pro-Israel or pro-Palestinian should be only one reason why they vote for a candidate.
