Probably because the mechanism of American elections makes it a binary choice, and the options are between "more than 30k dead" and "WAY more than 30k dead". Half-assed, milquetoast hesitation toward genocide is preferable to enthusiastic support for genocide (not to mention enthusiastic support for other genocides), which is the alternative on the ballot. Do you defend the alternative?
