As for the issue of Jerusalem, it was not included in the original platform as the rightful capital of Israel. It got noticed and there was fear that it would alienate the Jewish vote so the parties that be forced its inclusion. I hope the traditionally Democrat Jewish voters that are not self loathing take note. That was a moment of insight into what your Democrat base voter really thinks.

As for the issue of God, again it was pandering and politics. But as numerous studies and polls have demonstrated, the Democrat party base is mostly irreligious and is downright hostile to religion in many cases. Their religion is government and power and they serve only their own interests. They don't care much for others around them which is why study after study demonstrates they give significantly less to charity. What they really want is for a totalitarian government to take from the productive and give it to them.
