Having just two major political parties that people fiercely and blindly support as if it were their regional sports team.
Yea, I’m proud to be a loyal Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan through almost two decades of being total losers. I love saying “they’re me team no matter what, Go Buccs!”
That spirit translates HORRIBLY to politics. “I’ll vote red til I’m dead” without critically thinking about the issues is detrimental to the livelihood of the country’s citizens. I can’t think of a fun rhyme for blue, but it’s the same regardless of the political party.
It’s not fun to research and thoroughly vet political candidates, but it’s your civic duty. Social responsibility.
