I won’t tell you not to listen to your rebbe, and I hope he has the authority to pasken such shailos.

Here’s two arguments to the contrary, a religious one and a social one.

1) The Chazon Ish wrote that by casting a vote for a party that is shomer Torah and mitzvos one fulfills his obligation to protest chillul shem Shomayim.

2) You may not owe them or they owe you, but you owe it to Klal Yisroel to do your part in limiting their ability to harm the Torah and its keepers.
