They may have preferred the outcome where she won but that was never going to happen no matter how you voted. The possibility that your vote was the difference between Trump and Harris, on the other hand, was within the realm of possibility.

We need ranked choice voting. But at the moment we don't have it.

Not even remotely. I don't live in a swing state.

But you're negatively judging Harris voters in swing states. To me that's like negatively judging people faced with the trolley problem who chose to pull the lever because death still resulted, and then suggesting the solution instead is to go advocate against trolleys and people who tie people to tracks, when in reality that's the same as not pulling the lever.
