    I would disagree, if you look at the big picture. Politics, in the sense I think you are objecting to, is simply manipulating people. Office politics is common, and some participate with gusto. All forms of social one-upmanship are basically politics, and again some climb with pleasure. Electoral politics are just where social manipulation intersects with money and power. But just because there is money there, it doesn't make it qualitatively different. Rougher, nastier, maybe (though some social strife can be pretty nasty) but not a different thing. And therefore enjoyable to those who take pleasure in putting others down.
