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.

    Did we all just collectively forget that the DNC was panicking about rushing the vote for Kamala as fast as possible to avoid lawsuits from Republican states that could have kept her off the ballot?? If that happened then Trump would just have won by default.

    What?

    As far as I know all those states would have just listed “Democratic Party”…

    Like, that’s how the electoral college works. The party with the most votes gets to appoint electors and then they cast the vote for a person.

    The name being on the ballot or just the party doesn’t matter. The DNC lied that it would matter to stop people from fighting Kamala’s anointment.

    Same as they lied about “keys to the war cheat” that was the victory fund that the candidate and the DNC have control over, both have unrestricted access to the funds and there’s basically no accountability with it.

    We’re in this fantasy world that we could have had a primary.

    I stopped reading here.

    We can’t really continue until you recognize the above. Then we can build off that if you still have questions.
