It doesn't. Defunding the police didn't hurt Dems, running garbage candidates like Amy McGrath did. Progressives overwhelmingly won on platforms like defunding police or kept their seats. You're either some dumbass neolib troll or just eating up lib propaganda.
It's the job of the politician to get people to care about stuff though. What even is your point? That politicians should only chase what the average person cares about? And what they care about is determined by who they vote for? If they only vote for what they know and only know what they vote for, how is any ground gained? The average person didn't care about civil rights either. Or gay marriage. If we went by what people voted for and only cared about that, those things would have never went anywhere. How are you a Leninist, someone who supposedly believes in a thing most people think is a dictatorship that forces people to get sex changes, and arguing this way?
Plus, it's not all about winning Kentucky. It's about not dumping $100M into a race that you know you're going to lose AND not gaining any ground there anyways. Someone losing by a slimmer margin while only spending $10M would have been better.
