MODERATORS
The real, possibly main answer is largely because many people, especially young people, do not vote in large enough numbers to stop them.
There's also stuff like gerrymandering that help parties in power stay in power when they get to draw the district lines but I would argue that poor turnout is what makes the biggest difference.
