- Projections by the researchers show that if USAID cuts continue, more than 14 million additional deaths could occur by 2030, including over 4.5 million among children under 5, or about 700,000 extra child deaths per year.
- The figures reflect the projected consequences of halting funding not only for health services but also for critical sectors such as nutrition, education, water and sanitation and humanitarian relief.

Pretending otherwise is just the fallacy of Denying the Correlative. There were no other options and abstaining only increased the chance of a fascist win.
While true, also under the two party system the republicans are guaranteed to win at least sometimes. If democrats refuse to actually oppose fascism when they get into office then we’re going to end up with fascism after maybe a few extra steps anyway. Fascism has to be dealt with at the root level or it will grow enough to take over eventually.
