West TX Intermediate Crude:

I see nothing there about the percentage of Jews in the district, but I can almost guarantee that her support among Jews is not her strength, although of course there are some individuals who support her. In fact, my guess is that it’s the Jews in her district who probably voted for Samuels in higher percentages than other groups in the district.

Some info, possible true, about AIPAC sitting this one out https://tinyurl.com/bdd832eu

From what I have read, Omar’s district includes an area of upscale neighborhoods with a lot of Jacobin Jews many of whom voted for her. Her (former?) comms director is a Jew. They will be eaten last, if they are lucky.

Why would anyone not believe her re-election was laced through and through with fraud.

EBT and other redistributive schemes means that democracy dies in plain darkness. The presence of emoluments in politics means that our nation is not our own. Then there are the steering mechanisms, published influencers, phobias for profit, etc. Democracy is not a viable form of governance without a suitable Constitution to mitigate authoritarian progress.

there are areas and niches that they dominate completely,

Congressional districts have populations of about 700,000. Even if your Somalis were entirely concentrated in hers, they would not form more than a single-digit percentage therein.

Regarding outspending her opponent, I wish there were some reliable way to cut off contributions from overseas, and even from out of state. Ilhan Omar is, in my estimation, high on the list of possible recipients of foreign campaign funds.

@Art Deco:Omar represents a white-majority constituency and Somalis account for about 2% of the population of greater Minneapolis.

Thank you for those stats from 20,000 feet up. I spent several years living in that area ten years ago and there are any number of Minnesotans online who can tell you what’s going on with them currently. Greater Minneapolis is a huge area and Somalis are not evenly sprinkled through it, there are areas and niches that they dominate completely, giving them influence that is out of proportion to their percentage of the state or district population.
