A problem with supporting political groups is that the people are not the same as the idea they represent. What you want to achieve is “X”, but what you actually achieve is “giving more power to people who used X as their applause light”. That may result in more X, but it could also result in something else. Was this risk included in the calculation of the expected utility?
