Most people don't think hard or carefully about politics, and their political views are a very tiny fraction of what they give to the world (this is true even for most people who do think hard and carefully about politics, by the way). Their vote is never pivotal, and their views do not shape any major institutions.

Votes are pivotal as a sum. This is like not recycling because as an individual action it has no effect.

>and their political views are a very tiny fraction of what they give to the world

So?

Do you hate anyone who doesn't recycle? If so, I think you should set a higher bar for the sins necessary to earn your hatred.
