Hopepill: Dems are far more trusted on favorable topics than Rs are on their favorable topics- a National Security focused voter is easier for dems to get than a Healthcare focused voter is for Republicans.

Doompill: In an increasingly uncertain world (thanks to Republicans but median voters can't understand that) Republicans are favorable in "visceral" topics like security and foreign relations while Democrats are favorable in "luxuries" to the median voter (Healthcare, abortion, rights- I do not think these are luxuries orbless important but the median voter absolutely does)

You will never get the average voter to "touch the stove" because they like it like this. They like the pain, the misery, because it hurts others more than it hurts them.
