Voter: That guy’s got a knife and he’s coming for me! What do I do?
D: Vote for me and I’ll keep you safe!
Voter: OK! Here I go… let’s… voooooooote!
D: I win the election, thanks to everyone who donated to my campaign. This is a win for all of us, not just me.
Voter: Ok, now take that guy’s knife away.
D: How dare you criticize me after my very tenuous and delicate victory!
Voter: But he still has the knife and he’s still coming for me.
D: Donate $25 to my campaign for re-election and we’ll stop the knife wielding maniacs!
Voter: But you won already. Are you going to stop the knife wielding maniacs?
D: We can’t unless you vote D in the next election.
Voter: But I voted D in this one, and you won, and he still has a knife
R: Haha! I have won the next election. Here I come with my knife that no one took from me!
D: How would we have lost?! It must be the voters’ fault! Donate $25 to my campaign and we’ll send out weird postcards saying that we’ll know if you voted or not
Voter: Well, getting slapped is not as bad as getting stabbed!

My point stands. D taking your vote and your donation while not doing anything is still less bad than R actively stubbing you with his knife.
