Your point about the left - or to be more precise, the establishment-left DNC - has been proven beyond a doubt on many occasions. They are interested in high-stakes emotional issues that feel good and drive people out of their homes to the polling places. They don't really care about people. Look at how they treated their most sincere base - Bernie Sanders voters - like trash when it was certain that Hillary would be a deal breaker for 5-10% of them.

If you know establishment Democrats on the inside, you will privately see them lament the difficulty in which they have mobilizing their base to polling places. Demographics aren't destiny, and the political map by no means makes the Democratic Party's "blue wave" inevitable. They tried that psychological technique when they asserted the existence of a fictitious "blue wall."
