Why are Jewish Americans so liberal?

I think the fact many have faced discrimination and the fact the GOP seems to be more tolerant of that is part of the reason.  But probably the biggest one is just where the Jews mostly live.  Most tend to live in large metropolitan areas which generally vote Democrat.  As king of Kensington mentioned Canada is more mixed but I've found your more liberal Jews in places like Toronto-St. Paul's or Westmount tend to go Liberal, but when you get out into the suburban areas like York Centre, Eglinton-Lawrence, Mount Royal, and especially Thornhill, the Tories do tend to do a lot better.

Now in the UK it is the opposite as Jews tend to vote quite heavily conservative, especially since Corbyn became leader.  A lot of that is due to anti-semitism in the Labour Party especially from its more left wing.
