As one of my friends says, Democrats were running around yelling

1."Women have the right to abortion." and

2."Everyone has the right to alter their own gender!"

and, while I support the above [well, not exactly: I prefer that one should, when possible, pay for their own voluntary medical procedures].

But, in any case, the above rights have no particular appeal at all to people who are neither pregnant nor gender-uncertain, which is by far the majority of the voting population.

In contrast, Republicans focused on the economy and the border, two things affecting everyone.
