That's because the GOP won the culture war. Sure the dems have civil rights, gay rights, transgender rights, etc. but the GOP has managed to convince most of the US population that success is achieved through wealth, that people with lots of money are good people who deserve what they have, that government is inherently less efficient than business, that markets are good and they get better the less regulation, that liberty = economic freedom, that unions are bad for workers and so on. They've done this so effectively that dems now feel they have to play into it. It's a sad indictment of the lack of any real leftist movement here.
