Let's say I agree with you - it should've been enough.
So ? How does that make a fucking bit of difference? Everybody with a working brain knew already, after 2016 and 2020, that there was some notable chance that, like it or not, it wasn't going to be enough.
And the solution was easy - the whole thing could've been avoided just by offering up a candidate who wasn't a pro-zionist, pro-corporate, pro-billionaire slimeball. Yes - maybe the case can be made that people should vote for a pro-zionist pro-corporate pro-billionaire slimeball when the alternative is a deranged fascist, but the simple fact is that there's some number of people who, in that situation, are just going to say "fuck it" and stay home instead.
And anybody with a working brain who even briefly considered the matter had to know that that was the case.
Which means that anyone who thought that was a good strategy anyway is a fucking moron at best, and they and nobody else deserve the blame for following such a dumbass strategy.
