Does placate even work in that sentence? And don't most people do that? Most people vote based on completely superficial circumstances usually revolving around their sense of identity. 

Appease, pacify, soothe, mollify....

As for voting based on ego?  I don't think most people do that.  I mean that's partially what being a democrat is all about.  You vote on the principle of helping others and not just yourself.

ego isn't just about being petty. that's just the layman way of using the word. ego is also about your own sense of identity.
