Maybe a consistency / identity thing. They need to feel that voting matters in their bourgeois democracy, and they align a part of their identity around "good citizen voter". The majority of people who don't vote because they (rightly) realize it doesn't change the price of bread, are seen as enemies and heretics to that near religious conviction.
