Reply To: Why does the frum world have no clout?

Dear Common,
1. Rudy was much more on the social left than he is today. He was tough on law and order. Which is why we voted for him.
2. The ethnic cultures assimilate. Even their festivals and parades, become Americanized. If we want to have a more diverse religious bloc, we should turn to the new immigrant communities.
3. If we had not splintered our own bloc, we would have less trouble with the Anti Frum left. Since every splinter votes and lobbies individually, it takes a large effort just to get a consensus against a common adversary.
“there is no common ground anymore” Agreed.
