The fact is that politicians slice and dice their constituents by demographics largely because it works. People are individuals, yes, but politics is no different than marketing, and there is good reason advertisers spent billions for "highly targeted" marketing.
I think the issue you point out is just what happens when any party starts to take their voting blocks for granted.
