Why Do Politicians Always Say 'We Are All in This Together'?

Politicians say 'We are all in this together' to make people feel like they're part of a team. Imagine you and your friends are trying to win a game, but one person keeps arguing with everyone else. It makes the whole team look weak. So the leader says, 'Let's be a strong team!' That’s what politicians do, they try to unite people by saying it's a team effort.
