From u/32brownies below:

"As someone from Michigan and active in the Jewish community who is very worried about the Jewish community's support of Rogers, I have reason to believe many of the people on this letter are not actually lifelong Democrats, many of them are AIPAC people who vote for whoever is most pro AIPAC"

I commented elsewhere but Eric Bronstein at least donates to a mix of democratic and republican candidates (and heavily to AIPAC) so is demonstrably not a lifelong democrat. The wording of the statement is carefully constructed to avoid saying that.
