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.

          Yeah, that makes sense too. I think there are definitely some technical limitations, design flaws, perverse incentives, etc. baked into the political system that have led us where we are today. It’s a bit too resistant to change.
