Uncommitted Movement co-founder has no regrets not endorsing Dems.
As expected, the uncomitted movement continues to just be the worst.
Some gem quotes here:
-
“It was worth it because we got to continue centering what was happening in Gaza,” said Layla Elabed, the cofounder of Uncommitted, which declined to endorse Harris and encouraged people to vote their conscience. Asked if she feels any guilt about Trump’s win, Elabed said that what frustrates her is that their months of activism ultimately “wasn’t enough to save lives.”
-
“We have zero regrets about everything we did throughout 2024. I want that noted, underlined, bolded, as clear as possible,” said Hudhayfah Ahmad, a spokesperson for the Abandon Harris movement. “Our loyalty is to our morals, our principles, our values.”
-
No demands are being made for [Trump] to call for a ceasefire. No threats are being made to ensure that the Arab and Muslim voters who supported his campaign stay home or switch back in 2028. Activists say the reason for this is that they do not have the same juice within the Republican party as they do among Democrats, and have little ability to influence Trump’s policy approach. So they continue to focus on the party where their influence remains.
