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.

    If you are so concerned with 3rd party voters, you should be working tirelessly to replace First past the post voting in your state.

    That way, people could vote how they want and still have their vote count against those they don’t want in office.

    Or maybe you just enjoy telling others how to vote. So which is it, are you working to replace FPTP voting or are you against democracy?

      I do not seek or want to tell others how to vote. I just look at the results and the people abstaining or voting trump or voting 3rd party should accept what they did: elect donald trump.

      Just admit it, these people (possibly you as well?) fucked america over and the consequences will be dire. But accepting responsibility and acknowledging these people know what they did seems out of the question for some reason. It seems they rather would argue someone else did this, just as you seem to do. It’s always someone else who ‘blocks’ you in doing the right thing. Now there are scores of people left in uncertainty and quite possibly face a horrendous time while the fascist is in office.

      My message to people who made this choice: don’t mope and moan, accept what you did and live with the outcome of your choices and what they will do to part of society who will not be able to defend themselves.

      Imagine that, helping elect that fascist and then complain you had no other choice so hey, fuck all the vulnerable people who will suffer because of it, not my problem.

      And now wanting to hide under the umbrella of righteousness because ‘you had to make a stand’, also hating that people point out that what you did was morally questionable. It has to mess with your head I imagine and what better defense is there then attack and blame others?
