For the exact same reason why people join "circles" or experiences at EP. It's fun to belong to something that other people share.

Of course, the difference is that in politics, people actually are deluded into thinking that the world is going to change based on how they "register" themselves. And when it doesn't, at least they have thousands of people on their "side" to b1tch, co-miserate with and back up each others' points of view so that everyone will feel that they have a say in anything.

This tactic of encouraging humans to form political divisions that fight with each other is a clever little trick that governments use to divide people so that they won't unite against the government. It's name in warfare is called "Divide and Conquer". To the public, it is sold under the name "Democracy".

And they eat it right up. Every single time.

cantleavehim217	Posted Aug 4th, 2009 at 2:14AM really? because they have made some decisions about how they feel and how they want the leader of the country/state/ city to make decisions that affect them! Then you get to stand behind a list (that's you've hopefully made) which the person in your party also wants to stand for. Rep and Dem have VERY BIG differences! You have to know what you believe is correct for your family, kids, future. If not, find out what the people that are running for office believe and that may lead you to want to stand up!!
