No need to equate Americans with their leaders. The phenomenon of
"herd mentality" is universal. The Germans of the 1930s thought
electing the guy with the funny mustache was a Good Thing. Bucking
trends requires more self-deprogramming than most people are willing
to go through.
You might as well ask why embedded programmers use C instead of Forth.
I usually try to vote for the party that's the opposite of whoever
controls Congress. That way, the prez has a harder time mucking things
up. Unfortunately, Kerry made that more difficult every time he opened
his mouth. At least now the Bush sup****ters can start using Heinz
ketchup again.
