1. I never thought I would hear a Jewish intellectual say, “Vote for the czar!”
2. This isn’t a choice between the czar and the Bolsheviks. Biden isn’t Lenin, in case anyone hasn’t noticed. And voting for him does not mean you are choosing the far left. https://www.wsj.com/articles/vote-for-the-czar-its-important-11598895028">https://www.wsj.com/articles/...

A few more thoughts (1/4):
Okay, she never comes right out and says that Trump is just like the czar. She is using "vote for the czar" as a metaphor. But I still think it& #39;s a very strange phrase for a Jewish intellectual to employ.

(2/4) Her slippery slope argument is absurd. Biden is not going to turn the US into a socialist state. Even if Bernie Sanders became president, the US wouldn& #39;t turn into Stalin& #39;s Soviet Union, or even into the Polish People& #39;s Republic, which is her example.
(3/4) Thinking historically, in 1936, would you tell French Jews, "Don& #39;t vote for the centrist Daladier because he& #39;s allied for this election with Thorez. If the Popular Front wins, France will go Communist. So vote for the illiberal and even clericalist or antisemitic right."?
(4/4) Or in 1925, "Vote for Hindenburg because the centrist Wilhelm Marx has a loose alliance with the Social Democrats"?
She& #39;s saying to vote for someone bad because the other, reasonable option might eventually, possibly, under specific circumstances, lead to something awful.
