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.

    That’s just a few articles after a very brief search. What do you think Republicans were freaking out about when Colorado tried to do the same thing to Trump because he really legally shouldn’t have been allowed to be on the ballot because of his involvement with jan 6th?

    I get how the electoral college works, but the states decide how their elections are run and if the state chose to remove her then it’s not clear if there would have been a Democrat on their ballot at all. It’s not a federal thing. it’s 100x harder to get people to know to write in Kamala and to actually do it, than to just have an easy circle there for them to fill with her name in it so whether the legal challenges would have been successful or not, it’s not the best gamble to try to push it when we know how stacked against “us” the courts are.

    None of this is to really defend the DNC, I fucking hate them and hope the party burns so we can rebuild something where the people actually give a shit about us. I just don’t think in the timeframe we had there was any reality where we could have taken the time for a primary nor did there seem to be any contenders that wanted to cause a disruption that close to the election.
