No, most people saw it as genocide. She just pretended it wasn't happening because it was inconvenient for her.

I don’t think Harris would have encouraged genocide. I think she would have even pushed back somewhat against human right violations eventually.

Biden never did, in fact, he openly supported it. Why would she be any different? Since when has Democratic leadership cared about human-right violations?

Maybe in your circles most people already saw it as genocide - but that's simply not true for most most people. And of course that also applies to Biden as this was before Israel went undeniably psycho.
But I suspect you can't tell the difference, and so you are just as happy with Trump telling Isreal to wipe out the Palestinians and build casinos in Gaza, as with Harris likely following an (inadequate) diplomatic push to respect human right. If so good for you, I'm glad you're happy with the result.

You can keep saying "Nah, it's not true", but that doesn't change the fact that it was true. It was pretty clear they were committing genocide.

But lets take your argument in good faith, lets pretend that Biden didn't know they were commiting genocide: He still knew they were bombing innocent people, raping women, shooting kids, torturing, kidnapping, and starving people. Yet he continued to give them weapons, and support anyway. Is this your hero? the guy who raped women, bombed kids, and gave support to rapists, torturers, kidnappers, etc?

I don't know why your so quick to defend him, but I have a few guesses.

Well, if you had bothered to read what I've written, you'd know that I'm not happy with the result. I guess you are right, that I am "just" as happy, since Harris was pretty clear that she was going to do the same as Biden, and Trump. So yes I'm very unhappy about the result, just like I would have been very unhappy about the result if Harris had won.

She never had any intention to push for human rights, considering that she stood proudly behind Biden as he violated human rights, and made it very clear that she would keep doing the same things that he did.

Given that the options were Trump or Harris, if you really think they are the same, then you really are ok with Trump being the outcome because you didn't care.
It boggles the mind that you would see them as the same, that you can't recognize that even though they both are bad, that one is clearly worse than the other. But there we are.

Luckily for me, that's not a given. Which is how I was able to vote against both of them.

...if you really think they are the same, then you really are ok with Trump being the outcome because you didn’t care.

No, I'm not OK with Trump being the outcome, because I care. If you had bothered to read what I've written, you would have known that.

Well, it will please you to know, that I don't see them as the same. Nor have I ever claimed that. But please, continue telling me what I think and see. I'm sure that'll win people over, instead of providing things like data, or facts.
