    JFC I don’t know how you misread things so badly. Go read from the very start

      She did lose because she moved a little bit left and the voters did not show up.

      We’re saying you don’t understand cause and effect.

      You are saying A (moving left) caused B (losing).

      If A didn’t happen, then B also would not have happened. Therefore, “if she had stayed to the right, she would have won.”

      Edit: I think I figured out what I’ve got wrong. If I rephrase what you said, then it makes more sense:

      “She did lose because the voters did not show up, even though she moved a little left.”
