 I didn’t quite understand your question... I’m sorry! Can you help me?! 
 I meant why does everyone still argue  their political stances? Or argue over who they will vote for? 

Am I going to spend the next 5 months talking about Trump and Biden? 🤮 
 Thank you for being kind to me about that. So Mandana, people (some), like to feel entertained or to confirm self-approval of others, through pack political bias.

This is my perception of people here in Brazil, I may not be assertive before all groups in the world. 
 Entertained! Yes! People in America root for political parties like sports teams. 
 Luckily there are 24-hour news channels with exciting soundtracks that have play-by-play updates on the game! 
 Messing with the emotional is what makes the sale happen! And the soundtrack is the responsible thrust, no doubt... 
 It’s like watching AND listening to the slowest football game ever

Aaaaaaaand Candidate 1 is gonna take the campaign downfield, that might really cost him a couple of yards penalty though…

….. you’re right, because it looks like Candidate 2 has a strong defense strategy lined up downfield and it looks like he might be able to secure control of the this election with a couple of well-planned moves!

 😅 And there are all these confusing rules that somehow make it seem like an obvious loser has a fighting chance to keep the game going.
