In 2024, 89% of Kamala Harris's policies were found to have majority support while only 48% of Trump's did.
On average, Trump's positions had only 51% support while Harris's had 67%.
Policies are important to some voters, but very clearly they are not to many others. Candidates changing to policies that they think are more popular will not necessarily earn them more public support.

The other data problem w/ abandoning trans people is that the issue itself is not important to most people. And no wonder: People who identify as trans make up less than 1% of the population. Before they were banned by the NCAA, there were fewer than 10 trans athletes out of more than 510,000. Gender equality won't impact almost anyone. Cisgender people subconsciously or consciously know this. https://plus.flux.community/p/standing-up-for-trans-people-isnt
