80% of the voters don't cross the line in their voting.
People want to belong to something ( a group) so they can feel important; the problem with that is that they start believing, and without thought, that their group can do no wrong, and that if they 2nd guess an idea then everything about their group might be wrong. So to counter the process of thought and really understanding an idea, they react with a group (the squeaky wheels) because it makes them believe even more in their group, and that is all they want: to be apart of something.
