This is like saying "my vote doesn't matter, it's not like the candidate I would have voted for lost by a single vote"
Notice how you didn't answer the question?
We have the benefit of hindsight and they were correct. You just want to pretend that they weren't.
When a better outcome is possible, but fails to happen, everyone who would have preferred it but did nothing to contribute to the effort is at fault. Had Kamala Harris won, a peaceful solution would not yet be achieved, but would still be possible. Now that Donald Trump has won, a peaceful solution is no longer possible. Is that what the people who stayed home or voted Green want?
Edit: the other stuff I said was kind of mean, so I took it out.
I can't really prove what would have happened... but that was never going to happen. She was going to keep signing off on weapons shipments and refused to call it genocide.
She wouldn't have supported it as much as Trump. But no way was she in favor of a peaceful solution; she was offering a slower genocide.
We can both do better and expect better.
