Which way do you vote on an issue/candidate when one side is better for the
Jewish community's interests but bad for the interests of the country/area?

Why would it be in the Jewish communities interest if the candidate is bad for the country?

Since everyone is afraid to answer (must be Trump sheep) of course what is best for the Jewish community.

Or maybe it's not a simple question? I have rarely seen a race in which I completely agree with one candidate and completely disagree with the other on every issue. It's not a black and white question.

Even if one is good for the Jewish community directly now or even in the long run, when they are bad for the country/area that could be bad for the Jewish community as well, both in the short and long term

Maybe I read all posts?

Especially questions that put members between a rock and a hard place.

Ok, completely unrelated question. Who is your first responsibility to: your family or your country?

Doesn't work that way. You are the one who chimed in on the question so answer it.

My family always comes first. A conflict between my community and my country needs nuance. Just because something may benefit my community doesn't mean I think the costs are worth it. But if I feel there will be harm to my community, they come first.

Your turn.

If that is the case, why wouldn't you vote for Bernie Sanders or Andrew Yang. I think everyone would agree that a Bernie Sanders presidency would have an immediate payout for everyone, though it will be terrible for the county.

ETA: I guess your family needs a country to live in...

Immediate benefit, which I disagree with, doesn't mean it's best for my family.
