Part of living in a system that's a bit democratic is that it's good if you promote accurate political beliefs among the population.

Even if you don't change your behavior based on your beliefs politicians do change their behavior based on public polling. Politicians don't always react to public opinion but it's certainly incorrect to say that they don't care about the results of polls.

Democracy works really well when people get outraged over the right things. It doesn't work when people are outraged over made up drama.

Holding accurate political beliefs is a bit similar to voting. If one individual refuses, it's no problem. Promoting social standards that prevent people from voting is a problem.
