Absolutely agreed, my only point is that people treat it like it’s a victory and celebrate like they’ve won the superbowl, when it’s just death by a thousand cuts. People need to understand that strategic voting is not a victory even when it’s successful, it’s a “we haven’t lost yet”. The fighting doesn’t stop there. There is so much more work to do and the people you voted into office are not going to do it no matter what party they are. The corruption is on both sides of the aisle. The corruption doesn’t care what your personal politics are.
Nothing is a victory by that metric. Nothing is ever perfect, and criticizing the methods instead of the negativity is completely counterproductive.
If you want to make the argument that people shouldn’t count their eggs before they’re hatched, make that argument. Don’t make a different argument then chastise people for not getting what you “mean” instead of what youre actually saying.

Sometimes “we haven’t lost yet” is better than “we’ve already lost.”
