Because we are all allowed o ask the questions we want provided they stay within the rules here. Some people enjoy politics, some enjoy other stuff. That's what keeps it interesting.

Huge chuckles over here, Harry! It's nice of you to give them the benefit-of-the-doubt by "sizing it up" that way ;). Maybe they are only get a wee tingle?... ;)

It seems like some political questions are just a regurgitation of some biased news outlet with no real understanding or thought behind them. It's not really about politics, it's about gossip.
I don't think its necessarily ignorance. People have certain beliefs and feelings and enthusiasms and viewpoints they want to strengthen by broadcasting and so finding others who share theirs as well as arguing or belittling or criticizing other points of view. Just seems to me if all they do is follow politics they must not have many other things going on in their lives. I don't care much for politics so when I post on such subjects you know I have not been able to find anyone to discuss sex with on here, or love or human relationships or cooking or gardening or popular culture or serious culture or business or a million other things I am interested in.
Well ignorant people tend to obsess and gravitate towards politics. Politics is one of the shallowest and most base aspects of a person. That makes it an easy definer and outlet for simple and ignorant people. They have little else going for them in terms of personality, beliefs, or thoughts. It's just like religion in that sense and many others.
