Difference between "join + activity" and "join in + activity"?

I know I have already asked a similar question in another post. I know when we talk about "taking part in an activity ", we can use both "join + activity" and "join in + activity" interchangeablely. But I have asked another native speaker who told me that there is subtle differences between them that he can't express.
For example, in the following sentences:

He joined the campaign for democratic politics.
He joined in the campaign for democratic politics.

Could you please tell me the nuances of meaning in them? Thank you.
