The U.S. is unique in its obsession with elections and re-elections. As soon as one election is over, the next one begins. This phenomenon is largely driven by the role of political action committees (PACs), which are organizations that collect and spend money to influence political outcomes. PACs represent various interests, such as businesses, unions, or ideologies, and they often donate to candidates or campaigns that align with their agendas. PACs can also spend unlimited amounts of money on independent expenditures, such as ads or mailers, that support or oppose a candidate or an issue. PACs have a significant impact on the U.S. political system and the public policy decisions that affect the country and the world.

I really think the public would remain quite interested in elections regardless of PACs.

@volkris

Just like their fascination with WWE, NASCAR, MMA and SURVIVOR?

Ha, pretty good examples.
People enjoy drama, team association, and other places where politics has some similarities to those.
