There's no easy way for the people to leverage their voting power except for withholding their votes.

That's completely false.

The way to leverage their power is to promise X number of votes if the candidate pushes their preferred policy. Promising to withhold votes always leads to the group doing the threatening... being ignored and ostracized.

Just look at the political machines found throughout US history.

Most notably, the Tammany machine.
