The history of Jewish socialism in the US is often ignored. Amid contemporary Zionist attempts to align American Jews with conservatism, that history offers an essential counternarrative.

Jewish Socialists Helped Build Multiracial Democracy in America

Fetterman won't switch parties if Democrats get 51 seats. He'd immediately face a primary challenge. He goes on Fox News for attention and that's it.

Democrats will not get rid of the filibuster for abortion, voting rights or climate change. They're will have to ditch it to do a bipartisan deal to save Social Security before 2032. Everyone will hate it because it will require lifting the payroll cap and raising the retirement age.
