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.

just because the DNC fucked you by ignoring voters

In a democracy, the responsibility for deciding who holds the reigns of power lies with the voters. I'm blaming everyone who voted for Trump and those who discouraged others from voting for Harris.

    And you're punishing the Palestinians for it, for some reason.

    Trump is an embarrassment worldwide. And the DNC lost to him twice. If that can't get you to criticise them I don't know what will.

    Blame the voters to some extent, sure. People are stupid. But it's the party's job to win the votes. If that wasn't true why campaign at all?

    The voters can't be blamed for the lack of choice they were offered. The fault lies exclusively with the people who have real agency in this situation, the parties and their billionaire donors.
