I'd also add that if you don't vote, politicians have no reason to try to appeal to you. If only Coke people vote, no candidate is gonna try to attract Pepsi people, it'd be a waste of time.

People who choose to be prima donnas and refuse to vote unless a candidate passes their purity tests are never gonna get what they want because they aren't active voters in the first place. If you owned a shop, you would never try to attract people who ideologically refuse to come in your shop.
