if you read history youll see that it wasnt always the way it is now, the two parties have evolved over the past 75 years. democrats/liberals have pushed many issues over the years that created the enviroment we now live in. there are too many examples but one off the top of my head is discrimination against all minorities including jews. certain abuses were accepted in the past that wouldnt be considered now. granted with time things were pushed well past the limit of proper balance but my point is with a fuller perspective of history you can gain alot of wisdom. often you might meet a old timer (frum person) who is a staunch democrat and i think this is the reason. c’s am i giving any haskama to the current democratic party just saying that many issues jews value about conservatism was only brought about over the yrs by the counter balance of the democratic party
