Rules:

The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

Summary

Key leaders of the “Abandon Harris” movement, which encouraged voters to oppose Kamala Harris due to U.S. support for Israel during the Gaza war, are now expressing unease about Trump’s incoming administration.

Many in the movement, including prominent Muslim leaders, voted for Trump hoping he would bring peace to the Middle East.

However, concerns are growing over his Cabinet picks, such as Mike Huckabee and Tulsi Gabbard, which some see as troubling for Muslim communities.

This is what happens when a single issue voting bloc looks up from their issue and realized they listened to a lie because they heard what they wanted. Single issue voters are a plague to democracy because they aren't smart enough to think about more than one thing.

At least single issue voters do vote for the candidate who supports their single issue. Anyone in the Abandon Harris camp who voted for Trump because of the Biden/Harris handling over the Palestinian genocide was severely ignorant of Trump's policies. I guess this would have to include those who didn't see him as a threat for their interests and decided not to vote.

It'd be like an anti-abortion single issue voter casting a ballot for a candidate who's supporting Extreme Abortions ™.

I did not understand this. "I cant vote for her because she is bad on the issue i care about, so i will vote for the candidate with an even worse stance!" And to those who didnt vote, well no vote in our shit system is a vote against whatever you prefer.
