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.
First past the post is such a bad way of voting. They make you choose between 2 parties that don’t even reflect most of the people. Proportional representation is a much safer way to handle everything.
Preferential voting is also good.
Different targets, though. The house and probably state legislatures where there are plenty of seats to elect would do well with proportional representation. For stuff that’s really single seat, they could go with parliamentarism (house elects president), but more likely they’d want some single-seat election that works better than FPTP (and without the college)
