Bingo.
Nobody thinks finer points of political policy is more important than the people who wonk about it all day as a hobby.
Most average people dont' even know these things exist. They are thinking about what they will eat tonight for dinner or whether to stay home and watch TV or go out to the local bar. Hence why the increase in food prices more or less fucked the Democrats... because people notice when food/gas goes up.
Personally I just gave up in some ways too. It gets old listening to people rant on about transrights every other day. Which a lot of my more political friends have been doing the past few years. What they don't get is that transrights are irrelevant to like 95% of the population, even though they think that it's the most pressing moral issue of our lifetime and its the hill they have chose to grandstand on for whatever reason. And my lack of passion for this issue gets me labeled as transphobic by these same folks. And while I support transrights... I just don't want to scream about it everyday on social media like they do.
