The Politics of eAmerica

Now this is a topic I've wanted to spam for a lonnngg time. To say politics in eRep have absolutely no relation to politics in RL is pmuch correct. however... comparisons can be made for the sake of entertainment.
We citizens seem to like to go for the more extremist "looks when trying to make a point. Parties(and other related organizations) may be given names entirely opposite of their primary 'principals' and/or actions. Over time, the average person has become quite cold and disinterested in hearing any more hype or promises. We want to see more results before making our decisions. We, either, wait until we're actually standing in the eRep voting booth, or(due to apathy) when we see the results the next morning.
So what? Sure... that's a valid response from anyone who has stayed far from where that action takes place. But with so many of us doing this... sup for the future? "I don't care" isn't an attitude I can "go" with very long in this game. I came here for a reason: "To play to 'win', by making substantial and obvious contributions to the advancement of my country in the NEW World! And to play this social game requires some "social activity".
For most of my life I've been, primarily, a "mechanics" player. Completely relying on the modules for advancement in the game, I "integrated" my very eLIFE with the eRep economic system. That's it. NOTHING else (except for some brief, 'polit-fail' and my ill-advised(so far)'fail-career' in the military.
Doing it all since BETA days. Failed in MOST things.(even stopped training and fighting because I listened to poor advice about how to save wellness). But... through it all... with the help of some more capable and self-sacrifing friends... I learned to be "as one" with the economy.
How can anyone "LOVE" the economics in this game? GOOD question... if you're blinded ...focusing completely on other areas. But no one area is played in a "vacuum". (to be continued)
