True, politicians are not like Santa Claus who magically know everyone by name, but maybe they are aware of people in your set of circumstances and can sympathize.

On the other side of the coin, many politicians run town halls and other events where you can meet them in person. How many of you nihilists here have ever bothered to show up to one or those, let alone vote consistently?
