Nobody is saying you should somebody’s picture becasue he is Jewish. Nobody here is saying you should vote for somebody becasue he is Jewish these are straw-men that you have made up.
What we are arguing on is two statments that you made which are both factually and logically wrong.:
1) “Much of India, Spain, Africa, the US, all of Europe- im sure many of these people are techinically Jewish”
and (to a greater extent)
2) “Because he is not Jewish in any meaningful way.”
Several direct questions challenging one or both of those incorrect assertions have been asked and you have thus far not even attempted to answer. (specificly: why you dont consider halachicly Jewsih “meaningful”? whether you can eat Bernie Sander’s Chametz after PEsach? Wether you can eat a Goy’s Chametz after PEsach? If Amira L’akum can ever be utilized? differences between Sander’s and other sregarding conversion, MArriage etc etc etc.)
All you say is “I wont be posting his photo on my wall now.”
That sit the issue. I dppnt think anybody here has a picture of Sanders. Johnson or Einstein for that matter, on their walls.
As for your subtitle. I’m not clear why you oppose it “If Bernie Sanders is Jewish, I’m a Christmas Tree” Well he is (even if you, in oposition to chazal, don’t consider it “meaningful”) Which of course makes you ” a Christmas Tree” Either be proud and embrace what you are, or admit you were mistaken.
BTW mods, I never thanked you for my subtitle. It nice not to have the generic “member” i feel more a part of this community, so thank you.
