I'd argue that emotions about politics genuinely affect one's enjoyment of government as much, if not more so, than any other product.
Why don't you want us to be happy?
Fair enough. My thinking is that voting has severe effects on others, while one's choice of consumer product mostly affects oneself. Maybe a particular well-marketed beer can make one feel strong and virile; a well-marketed approach to foreign policy might do the same, but with worse consequences for others.
