Most folks in the non-practicing Jewish community don't cast their votes based on Jewish interests, pretty much the same way most people in the non-practicing Christian community don't vote with Christian values as their main priority.

I used to wonder about this until I realized that the Repubs represent Christianity...which holds that the Jews are wrong about the Savior
So, they vote instead for the party that sympathizes with those that are actively trying to wipe them off the planet.
Makes no sense.
I don't think the Jews are all that worried about Christian beliefs. There are plenty of Christian groups that are outright supporters of Jews that you won't find in great depth in the dem party and not at all with Islam that the dems are getting deeply in bed with.
ETA: speaking of Judaism worldwide. Jews in America just put leftism first before their religion. I believe Moses told us something about God's opinion of that. Seems they forgot.

+13 still want to vote for candidates that hate them and only want to tax them to oblivion.
Jews have been in the vanguard of communism and socialism since the 1840s in Eastern Europe
the Zionists in poland and Russia and eastern Europe were bitterly fought by fellow Jews in the socialist Bund during the 1920s and 1930s.
The zionists were never able to say 'TOLD YOU SO"
because all the socialists were massacred by the Nazis from 1939-1945

Maybe they shouldn't be identified as Jews then?

"Jew" is an ethnic label more than it is a religious one.
If an atheist Jew decides to start going back to synagogue, he won't be asked to get re-circumcized. He'll be asked to eat kosher food, observe the holidays, and all of the other things that Jews are expected to do. Because according to Judaism, he's already a Jew.
