That most politicians don't work for the voters who gave them their job, they work for the donors and lobbyists that will give them large paychecks after they leave office. See, e.g., Howard Dean. To them, us voters are just pesky peons they have to pander to and lie to once every 2, 4 or 6 years for a few months. They could care less about the people they are suppoed to support & anyone that threatens their power is the enemy. That is why they are freaking out about Sanders and his supporters, they will overturn their fiefdoms.
