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 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.
An election is decided by millions of small decisions. A thousand different things add up to a massive defeat. Frankly, I think you’re one of the idiots that decided not to vote for her or encouraged others to abstain and now you’re reaching for any shit justification to believe you’re not at fault for what’s going to happen now.
Anyone who could’ve voted for Harris but didn’t is part of the problem and shares in the blame. Anyone who discouraged people from voting for Harris is even more worthy of blame. If any of you are reading this: it’s your fault. The blood of people who killed themselves after the election is already on your hands and there’s more to follow.
I have no sympathy.
