If you think about how much your life will change depending on who is the elected representative as a member of the middle class the answer may very reasonably be 'a small amount'.
This very small change is something an informed person can reason about. Unless there are massive sweeping new laws coming that target you your life won't be noticeably different. It's not something that helps to motivate voting in every election though even if long term it's a good idea to always vote (over many many decades small changes add up).
On the other hand those that think politics will completely change their lives depending on who is elected are generally misguided and unrealistic. These are the people who are the most motivated. They will storm the capital to stop the other side getting into power because they think their lives will be completely changed under the new leadership. It's not a realistic viewpoint. The moderate that believes that each election brings small changes at a time is probably closer to the truth but understandably less motivated.
