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.

    from what I’ve heard the free Palestine movement was part of the reason we lost.

    That’s definitely not true. People who cared about Palestine enough to not vote for Harris are chump change compared to the numbers she lost by. I mean Trump got all swing states, literally all seven. Getting Michigan would’ve only made her loss seem less terrible. This is the DNC’s, and America’s, fault, not something that happened because some people didn’t want to fund genocide.

      America isn’t real, it was made up by rich people to dodge English taxes.

      The fault lies entirely with the owners of this country and the political parties they assembled to manage the oligarchy.
