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.
I agree that Kamala was a “bad candidate” in that she wasn’t very electable, despite being an intelligent, eloquent, respectable leader.
It seems like the main concepts that sank her are simply that she’s not a white male, and sadly Trump seems to have this unshakable perception that he’s good with money despite all evidence to the contrary.
That said, I think there’s a lot of self reflection to be done amongst those on the left who sabotaged their own candidate. They were protesting about Palestine outside Harris’ rallies for goodness sake. I don’t think this specific demographic is responsible for losing the election, but they are idiots that need to consider their approach to societal change.
Edit: I replied to the wrong person, whoops. Now this would be a reason to qualify me as a bad commenter.
