No I’m not. I think you don’t know what “in spite of” means. The correct usage of that expression would be: “The far left wing wanted Hillary to move far left. But they voted for her anyway in spite of her only moving a little bit left.”
This entire conversation has been you (intentionally or otherwise) misreading and/or misinterpreting and/or twisting words, so I’m leaving this conversation. I think I’ve explained things well enough.
I still think this has been a useful conversion, because it has helped me understand what you actually meant to say.
What I think you’re trying to say is that moving left failed to prevent voters from protesting, which I’m completely in agreement here.
If courting left wing voters fails to get them out to vote, then politicians are just going to pander to center/right voters.
Your phrasing was just really weird, because you keep arguing that moving left is what triggered the voters to protest, but they would have protested either way.

I feel you are misinterpreting what I’m trying to say, this example would be more accurate:

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