As for both parties, they operate on the extremes. The GOP is more effective in energizing their voters on topics like Religion, Abortion, Race, LGBT etc. to get them to vote for them while they impoverish their electorate. The Dem's OTOH have gone away from bread and butter issues. They have no message and part of the problem is that we have brain dead people like Feinstein, Pelosi and Schumer that have no new ideas since they are incapable of thinking anymore. Similar to the Utah moron Orrin Hatch who claimed that the Trump presidency is going to be one of the greatest ever; does he not know that Trump's approval ratings are in the gutter?

Sorry, but I think the bolded statement above is really interesting, and really wrong. Its interesting because - if you read the article - disaffected Dems believe that those are the types of issues that dominate the discussion within the national party, but don't really impact the day to day life of most folks.

On the other hand, while I suspect there are some, I don't know of anyone I know motivated to get out to the polls and vote due to the social issues you cite above. Not one. I think the old saw that "folks vote with their pocketbook" is far more of a factor on election day for most.
