Sorry, but that logic just doesn't work at the population level.
A large group of people isn't going to change if you keep telling them "do better". You have to work with their natural interests and responses. If a politician manages to motivate people, people will vote for them. If they don't, people won't.
I guess the people's teeth will just all fall out then. Too bad the dentist didn't motivate us to brush enough.
Too bad it's seemingly impossible to get a Democratic candidate who anyone actually wants. But sure, keep telling people it's their fault. Worked wonders in '24!
What, Kamala had the agency to change her stance on Israel, which the Democratic campaign knew was a dealbreaker? Sorry, it's an ironclad law of the universe that's not possible. Guess you have to continue going to the dentist who keeps making you gargle literal shit.
So because Kamela didn't change her stance on genocide, you now have Trump who has the exact same stance on genocide, and wants to start 8 wars and a civil war as well.
Congratulations, you played yourself.
Even a dentist that makes you gargle shit is better than the dentist that makes you gargle shit and shoots you in the head afterwards.
I sure as hell haven't played myself, considering I'm not an American!
But you've accidentally put it exactly right:
Yes, because Kamala didn't change her stance on genocide, you now have Trump who has the exact same stance on genocide, and wants to start 8 wars and a civil war as well.
One person had the chance to change it all, but it was more important to ensure that Gaza continues to be erased.
You could have convinced millions of people to vote, or to change their vote, and you'd still have to convince many more to change the result. Or you could convince one single person, and it would have changed the result. Which is more realistic?
