As a rational person, it must have occurred to you that if what you say is true, abortion and gay rights would have stopped being election issues many moons ago.
The reason they haven't is because it works, it gets people to the polls. That's politics. People don't vote for 'rational', 'objective' technocrats who are 'policy wonks'. They will vote for whoever they think will deliver on the pie-in-the-sky promises they agree with.
