Because these days, everything is political even if it shouldn't be. And people need to feel good about themselves for picking the "correct" party, whichever party that is. Think for yourself? Why bother! Jump on our bandwagon instead.

I think the problem isn't that "everything is political", the problem is that everything that is political is tribal. The problem isn't that it has a connection to politics, the problem is that it is tied up in group identity and that people respond to it on that basis rather than rationally.
