And once people realize you don't stand for anything at all, they'll be energized to come out and vote for you. Good thinking.
There are plenty of issues which are not socially polarizing: jobs, defense, scientific research, sound monetary policy, realistic legal immigration policy, etc.
Just because you don't want accommodate political opponents by fixating on socially divisive, politically loosing issues does not in any way mean you stand for nothing.
jobs
That is divisive. Democrats want higher taxes and harsher regulations and government jobs. Conservatives want the opposite.
defense. Are you kidding?
science research- As long as it’s manmade global warming and embryonic stem cells, the left wants it funded.
monetary policy- print dollars and stuff them in the stock market and pretend their is no inflation.
immigration policy - You haven’t been paying attention have you? You don’t think there is a divide there??
I think it does. It means you just put your finger in the air to decide which stand to take on questions that will impact society for generations to come. I have no use for people like that and will avoid voting for them. I’d rather stay home or skip the race, just as I did when the GOP ran Mitt Romney. I was not alone.
