You might, as a carebear like myself, imagine the political scene is formed of bubbles, like in statistic classes. Groups that overlap and/or stand on their own, with some elements belonging to more groups while others only belong to one. A bit farther down the line and the paranoia hits you, and you start to believe the false reality that in fact Salem is more like everyone standing in a circle, each stabbing the back of the person after them, so as to spread the paranoia further. This model seems likely, nice and linear and easy to understand. But much like time is proving to not be a linear concept, so is Salem a cluster**** of webbed daggers stemming out from any one person into any number of other people, or to no people.
That said, I know nothing about salem politics, but most alliances just seem fickle, so join the group with the most people in it that you enjoy playing with, and enjoy the company of and/or playstyle of.
