I guess the issue is that, assuming a turnout of 60% for simplicity, the undeserving third category you mention only makes up roughly 30% of eligible voters. Which means 70% of eligible voters are deserving of what's coming to them (according to you). I acknowledge that throwing the whole country into the same bucket is not a fair and helpful simplification, but it's becoming increasingly harder to resist the urge.
