Some credit Bell’s victory to grassroots efforts that unified St. Louis Jews across all denominations and political preferences.

    American Jews as a group, are incredibly civically connected on all levels of local, state, and federal government. We vote in the highest percentages every election be it primary or general, across all American minority groups, and we overwhelmingly vote Democrat.

      This primary race had the first or second most money spent on it in American history from one lobbying group, AIPAC. This group spent more money than anyone else ever has to unseat an incumbent in a primary, and they did it in 2 races this year.

      No one, absolutely no one at all, is going to buy a “this is totally just grassroots organizing, my Bros.” That’s ludicrous spin. Using a Trump style “some credit/some people are saying” qualifier before your laughable premise isnt helping either.
