Do you have better issues on which to win the largest amount of votes? People have no concept of how many different competing agendas exist in a country as large. Whatever issue you pick a large majority of the country is bothered about something else. Which is why things devolve to the lowest common denominator.

That's what separates a leader from a petty peddler.
Its not the case that one hasn't seen such leadership before. But when politics is a career, why would one bother when they get a win with shallow clickbait issues. Leadership that needs sincerity, lets not do that, pimping up some clickbait issues, hell yeah.
As far as better issues there are plenty -- Better, sustainable basic infrastructure, better governance of resources ...
