'Very troubling': Leader of 'Abandon Harris' movement now anxious about Trump appointees
In interviews with NBC News, prominent members of the "Abandon Harris" maintained they made the right decision to either not vote for Vice President Kamala Harris or cast their ballot for Donald Trump despite previously being in the Democrats' camp.As NBC's Jillian Frankel reported, members of the m...
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.
"Many in the movement, including prominent Muslim leaders, voted for Trump hoping he would bring peace to the Middle East"
How the FUCK would you hope for that? Have you been living under a rock and didn't know who Trump actually is and what he does? The Muslim ban Trump? That Trump? Bringing peace to the Middle East? Seriously?
I voted for Harris. I voted for Biden. I voted for Clinton.
I still wouldn't warn a single one of them if they were about to get hit by a bus.
Its harm reduction. They don't solve anything. They just keep us treading water sinking slowly whereas Republicans start taking a hammer to the hull to open up new holes.
Bryarr Misner, who worked as a campaign manager for the Abandon Harris campaign in Pittsburgh, admitted they voted for Trump, with NBC reporting, "He said the point of the Abandon Harris campaign was to punish the Democrats for supporting Israel during its war in Gaza, which the campaigners view as a genocide, and he hopes the Trump campaign will be more willing to negotiate with group leaders."
This is a person that was only ever going to vote for trump. Dipshits up and down.
The leopards are looking mighty hungry.
Way to go assholes. You fucked around and now we all get to find out.
Leopard, meet face.
🐆🍽👨🏻🦲
Trump doesn’t negotiate. He’s a tyrant. They’re in for a world of hurt and punished a lot of innocent people with their votes.
We fucking told you so.
How could they have been that stupid as not to expect this??!
How could anyone have seen this coming.
Well, after four years of Trump we aren’t going to have to concern ourselves with Palestine, because it’s going to be “more Israel”. Thanks to these dumbasses. The leopards will be obese crime feasting.
An evolutionary marvel: the human without brain
Fucking dipshit.
It gets harder to continually extend sympathy and solidarity with all of the fucknuts who are ostensibly allies on the left, when they focus on a single media-focused disaster, and they try to "send a message" to their own side, by backstabbing them and helping the fascist who will be 1000x worse.
Progressives who proclaim their hate for both parties are simply binary thinkers whose privilege insulates them from the consequences of their "principled stands". They wonder why the country doesn't just hand all power over to Progressives... go blow.
Congrats on getting exactly what you deserve.
shocking - It's almost as if there was a coordinated media campaign to paint both sides the same, and convince a bunch of people to vote against their own self interests. Absolutely did not see this coming... Nope, absolutely not.
No shit.
It's almost like they didn't know that Trump was the only other choice on the ballot with how shocked they are about this.
Their faces were made strictly to be eaten by leopards. Their faces are leopard food, and boy howdy, those leopards are gonna feast.

Man this person has like zero presence online outside this story. Has to be purely online.
🤡🐆🐆🐆
LOL, their opinion doesn't matter, you don't have to report on it.
This community right here is what's gonna get me through the next 4 years.
Has he tried fucking off and dying?
Do youean the leader of abandon & punish palestine™, right?
It's weird people are blaming the ones who didn't vote...
Obviously, if they voted trump, blame them away.
But it's like people don't realize how big of an ask it was to have people to vote for a genocide, especially when it's against the country someone came from and their family is still there.
If Kamala would have won, trying to criticize her would have worked as well as criticizing Biden on Israel the last four years. Any criticism would be met with "Trump would be worse".
With trump in charge, people will (rightfully) call out American support of a genocide as wrong. So while trump will undoubtedly make shit worse. Him being president means the Dem party will criticize him, and be more left in 2028.
If Kamala had won, she and the party would have moved more to the right in 2028. Just look at what happened after 4 years as VP. The few parts of her 2020 platform people liked, she moved to the right on.
The genocide of Palestinians didn't start two years ago, it's been going on for 70 years. It makes sense they're thinking long term rather than only focuses on the "now" and voting for a lesser evil that maintains the status quo that is a genocide.
If you want someone to blame, it seems like the blame should be on the "left" candidate that ignored everyone actually on the left and became bff's with Liz Cheney. Not the people that understand when a Republican wins, we get a primary which even when the party pick wins, the primary pulls them left. Even if it's just lies to win the primary, as long as they keep the lies up, it helps in the general because voters want Dems to move left.
Without a primary, the chosen candidate takes the left for granted and moved right. In this case if Kamala won, we wouldn't have another option in 2028 either, it would be 2032 before the next real primary.
Like...
I just don't see how someone could blame anyone except the candidate, her campaign team, and the DNC.
They're the ones that prevented a real primary, and that made the campaign platform that alienated lifelong Dem voters in hopes of gaining republican voters who wouldn't be caught dead voting for a Dem.
It obviously failed, and the media is desperate to blame anything other than the stuff their billionaire owners bribed the Dems to support.
They'll never ever say the problem was a Dem is too "fiscally conservative" because they're the ones paying neoli eral candidates to pretend that's a good move for the average American
