He needs to reach out to the Jewish community and make clear he’s not an anti-Semite, full stop.



He needs to say “I fucked up and went too far, I have reflected on my comments and I need to throughoughly study the conflict and the struggles of the Jewish people. Over the next year I will be speaking with the Jewish community in New Jersey to see how I can best support them against anti Semitism”

Knowing Comrade Stansky it would not surprise me if he blew it

His video was very good, and his Public Radio announcement was good and low key.

So did many other politicians in 2016. Yet the guy with the rockiest campaign ended up winning. Sit down. 8)

I think a lot of people are underestimating Bernie because he’s an old white guy socialist, whereas you have a bunch of young and attractive minority or female candidates with a ton of his platform. But he is the OG socialist, and authenticity counts for a lot

His authenticity draws me to him, even though we are nowhere near each other politically, as I have transcended onto a new plane of thought.

Of course, with that he’d be forfeiting support from that hardcore pro-Palestine-to-the-point-of-being-anti-Semitic crowd that’s been with him so far in exchange for lukewarm support from Jewish voters- at best.

Even if he says all that, at this point the best he can do is stem the bleeding- but it won’t go away.

He’s done, I think.

I strongly considered voting for him on the grounds of his anti-corporate money stance alone- better a half measure than none at all.

Of course it would be ideal if he did the same with unions but that’s not how the world works.

I just want to say that a few years ago the state legislature near unanimously voted against a BDS bill; considering probably all those politicians will be re-elected by their constituents; and that from what I’ve heard in day to day conversations, Israel is decently supported by the general NJ populace, Stansky’s controversial remarks regarding Israel are definetly not going to do him any good statewide. The most realistic result would be him not being re-elected as mayor and, as Sanabel said, wasting away much of his political capital.
