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.
They voted for the democrats?
I get the joke and at this point I’m disillusioned enough to laugh at it. The Democratic party is so disconnected from the working class that, assuming there is another election, I don’t know what’s next.
America was built on this stuff. Go ask a native american. Theres always been a group that is systematically abused and murdered for profit. As long as americans value money over morals this will keep going.
You’re not wrong, but there was a time when the regulatory capture was not so complete, when politicians were not openly bought and sold… Am I just having nostalgia for a time that never was? Maybe… I still have hope though.
I think you are right about regulatory capture, just I think it was always technical limitations rather than people making better decisions.
Yeah, that makes sense too. I think there are definitely some technical limitations, design flaws, perverse incentives, etc. baked into the political system that have led us where we are today. It’s a bit too resistant to change.
