Because they are demanding upvotes, and that's actually upvote begging.
Demanding upvotes is upvote begging, while saying "if this gets *insert amount of upvotes here* and I'll post into politics" isn't actually upvote begging because they said IF they get that amount of upvotes. So necessarily, people are upvoting upvote beggar's memes. by saying "*amount of upvotes here" and I'll post into politics" is upvote begging, since they are demanding. how many people actually know the difference between the 2?
