Cause it's so appalling, so unnerving, so unconscionable that this is the world we're living in. So even if they're just empty words/sentiments, we need *something* that gives us even a glimmer of hope. No matter how unlikely it ultimately ends up being. No matter how many times we continue to lose endlessly.
It's so frustrating, and still so shocking. Especially after having had 8 years of relative calm, relative balance w/Obama. And especially after the trainwreck that was the Bush years ... I thought America would *never* intentionally put ourselves in this type of position again, after those pathetic 8 years. How quickly we forgot. Why do we seemingly *want* the mayhem and madness ? I don't get it.
