It makes sense that if Jesus had existed, he would have supported ideas such as social justice and compassion for the poor and indignant.
He would have been a Jew, and those are key teachings of Judaism (and a constant topic within the writings of the prophets). I think it's one of the main things that keep large numbers of Jews and Catholics loyal to the Democratic Party.
And a fun fact: there is no word for "charity" in Hebrew. Tzedakah, the word typically translated as charity, means "righteousness", and comes from the root meaning righteousness, fairness, or justice. Giving tzedekah isn't a choice, it's a requirement.

What! you not going let me put on my tinfoil hat and rant and rave about completely off topic stuff.
June was right to be concerned about this thread becoming political.
Kinda difficult to discuss this topic w/o getting political. I stopped short of saying more, hoping not to cross the line.
