I mentioned in the OP how they still have influence even if they aren't elected. 

Hmm. If a politician has a choice between trying to get more people of their own party to vote and new voters or going after independents' vote. Which do you think he'll choose? Which do you think is more worthwhile. 

People of his party are already going to vote. This is called the median voters theorem.
