why do liberals focus so much on social issues and put economy, foreign policy, immigration, etc behind them?

"The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so." Ronald Reagan

The Liberal ideology is a theory which holds forth beliefs that have no basis in reality.

They are Advocates of a policy that empowers a strong government to enslave its people with a high tax burden incident to the support of extravagant and unnecessary social programs destructive to both the work ethic among the lower class, and the incentive to innovate and succeed among the working class.

The problems we face today are because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living.

A democracy will continue to exist up until

the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous

gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority

always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from

the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally

collapse over loose fiscal policy

A broken government can't be fixed by the same government that broke it.

Leftists fuel their arguments with emotion, and social issues are right in their wheelhouse, so to speak. They can avoid painful truths while looking "compassionate", which is one of the selling points of PC speech/thought codes. It also helps them avoid debate when name calling and demonizing will suffice. Do I name call? Yep, dedicated leftists who know their policies are divisive (race, gender, class) and ineffective (except at increasing the power and influence of their pols and cronies) are beneath contempt. The naïve and uninformed, but well meaning leftists, just need to be allowed to hear the other side of the story, without being called a sexist, intolerant, xenophobic, homophobic, islamophobic, racist, and bigoted.

Here is a case and point of liberals knowing so much that isn't so, as per Arnie. See link...

Its from prageruniversity.com, this site could also be called, countering liberal propaganda and lies that Binky spreads dot com, but its too long and cumbersome...

Because historically, the evidence shows that "liberals" already HAVE the economic part nailed down?

We already KNOW how to make the economy thrive (and there is a century of proof at that link!), so we can concentrate on trying to fix everything else...

(As a European immigrant let me assure you that "poor Mexicans" are NOT your real problem....your real problem is "poor White Trash" in the Southern States who have been inbreeding for generations, and have produced the bulk of your current population on Welfare... and that's just a fact!)

The evidence;

easy and obvious

HUMAN BEINGS are more important than business and politics.

but economy ,foreign policy immigration ARE social issues!

I think most people do that Republican or Democrat.
