Political party affiliates can be postpartisan

Did you read the article you linked to? Let's say it's hard to take seriously. The first example is both contenders in the 2008 US presidential election. Well Obama won it and he turned to be anything but "postpartisan" in his governing style. The article doesn't do much to dispel the impression that when someone says "postpartisan" what he means is "I want my opponents to go along with my partisan position".

I can see in the Recent Comments sidebar that your comment starts with "[There is no such thing as ", but the actual text of your comment appears blank. Something might be screwy with your link syntax?

I don't see why political party affiliation (or, more generally, participating in the my-tribe-vs-the-enemy-tribe activities) cannot be instrumentally rational even without any post-partisanship.
