I have some people tagged that were ferocious anti kamala, that are now criticizing Trump.

And seeming pretty reasonable whilst doing so.

I don't understand those people

They're both pretty awful, it's not that difficult to understand. Criticism of one is not praise for the other.

Was there anyone on here who was ferociously anti Kamala who wasn't also anti Trump to begin with?

Not in the cases i'm on about, but sure.

I just picked up on their ferocious rhetoric, and insanity in the discussion in election time. And found them quite level headed afterward. Even arguing the opposite way from what they did before for instance concerning Trump.

That behavior strikes me as curious, it could be gained insight or something malignant, I'm undecided.

The reason the discourse was more focused on Harris is because virtually everyone on the fediverse is already on the same page about hating Trump, while there's disagreement about Harris. Nobody on here argued for voting Trump, unless a lost conservative wandered in in which case they were downvoted to hell and criticized by everyone.

You don't understand how someone could be anti-genocide, or anti-empire, or anti-war no matter which candidate is pushing it?

I don't see how it's that hard, if you have principles that transcend parties.

If you were actually any of those things you would have voted for the candidate that lead to less genocide, less empire and less war.

I hated Kamala too for all the reasons you listed, but I held my fucking nose and voted for her anyway because I knew any conservative was going to be worse in all those categories and Kamala had the only chance of beating him.

Not voting was the pro-genocide vote. There would be less people dead and less people in fucking concentration camps if Kamala had won.

I did vote for that candidate.

Not voting was the pro-genocide vote.

No, it was the "genocide is fine, I don't care" choice. Voting for Kamala was the pro-genocide choice. She was very clear about that.

Citation needed. She fully supported Biden when he was bombing kids, and sending immigrants to torture camps. She also said Trump was too soft on Iran.
