You can change the World and possibly end your career. This is the danger, Jay led off with.... Representatives that are there by a career choice rather than political idealism.
Voting with the herd, will help assure your employment, and feed the kids.
There was a time, long ago and far away, when elected officials here, and I imagine there, had a career or source of income that allowed them to run for office, to go and work for their ideals. Often, here, it was a one or two term commitment to try and make a difference, then back to their life. If they got booted out, it was no big deal, so they would fight for their principles.
Career politicians stand for nothing but keeping their career going.
