I mean I understand the point. The left does a great job of creating noise about issues that affect low numbers of people that end up galvanizing more opposition than it generates in votes. If the thing you advocate for ends up getting more votes against it rather than for it due to your advocacy, you just hurt your own cause.
Long term strategy is key.
No. The people affected by hateful policy are "creating noise." The Democrats are just the only ones willing to listen and try to help.
Takes 2 to tango.
