Why do people vote for politician that they really know they are not good for their country?
Why do they confuse politics and believe that they have to give their vote to their “team”? Are we stupid or they make us believe that by voting the other team is a betrayal?

Any person that says they vote for the best person at the time is lying. People vote for there party unless they switch parties mid stream. No one waits until the debates and says hey the democrat made better points then the republican I'm going to vote democrat this year. That's bull sh*t. I hate liars.
Take Lucky for example ( He or She just said they vote for the best person and in the same statement said that they will never vote Democrat again. Which is it?
Great Britain

When's the last time you felt any politician would be good for the country, at least as far as the ones who run for president. Bush may have us in a bad war but give it to Kerry and see if it doesn't get even worse. Clinton may have had a better economy but he can't keep it in his pants, and Al Gore acts like he is made of wood.
Now we've got Hilary Clinton, who may have the smarts to pull it off but comes across as a Harpie to nearly all Americans. Would any other country see her different? Or perhaps Bill Frist, the doctor who doesn't know where AIDS comes from, or if a person can respond or not. There are some, but they refuse to run or can't make it because they don't have the votes, such as Colin Powell, Barrack Obama, or John McCain. People vote to try and find the lesser of two evils, and when it backfires on them (because neither candidate is that good) the other side says "see, I told you so." Failing to realize that next time they'll get it right back when their candidate fails too.
You added not from US after I answered, but the basic truth still holds true. The fools run because they don't know any better and anyone smart enough to do the job of leader of any country stay out of it because they are smart enough to know the problems that come with the job (constant complaining from the other side, your own screwups maybe getting too big, possible assassination, and so on).

Most of the people currently voting can't remember a time when there were more than two viable parties running for office. The media only gives coverage to the democrats and republicans, and the Electoral College makes it impossible for a third party candidate to win. Social conditioning and buying into the media's ploys, that's what shapes the way we have voted. Open your eyes, America.
This applies to most non-third world nations, not just America.
