To Joseph:
“Yeger had initially started running against Chaim Deutch…..In addition [he was] attempting to take away a Yid’s job, which isn’t halachicly permissible….”
Generally, there is a kernel of substance in your trolls but your comment above is really inane. If a politican has done a lousy job for his constituents, yidden or otherwise, a yid should feel obligated to run against him and replace him and do a better job for the tzibur. Are all the religious party politicians in EY who seek to displace the secular politicans violaitng halacha?? Are all the gadolim (real ones) who endorse their candidacies also indirectly engaged in violating halacha. Oh. but a talmid chacham like you would argue that maybe its ok in a parlimentary system where you don’t directly run against another candidate but insteadi ar te trying to maximize votes for your slate of candidates…
