A political view that has a direct effect on one's personal life such as cannabis legalization or gay marriage. It does not make other politics such as foreign affairs any less important. Rather, it speaks for the issues that are most important in one persons life. Does not necessarily represent a liberal viewpoint, as they could be against cannabis legalization.
Politically obsessed person: "If you don't care about the financial involment overseas, then you are a turd-eating liberal!!"
Rational and sane person: "I am neither a liberal or conservative, I just care more about cannabis being legal for me to partake than what happens with the goverment budget. I guess its what you would call applicative politics- politics that actually matter."

Chad: “Stop your Harry Politicing, you ignorant bitch. It’s a fictional book. You can’t use it to justify your real world politics. God, you’re dense.”

Get the Political Correctnessmug. Political theatre is an illusion of choice presented by the political elite to the voter, that their vote has an impact on the future of the nation. It in fact does not, you are simply an observer while Republicans and Democrats are two sides of the same coin, America is technically a one party corporatist state.
Person 1: Why has nothing changed in America, why do we still suffer even though we vote for people who are supposed to represent us
Person 2: Political Theatre my friend, it's all a facade.

Political lesbians reject sexual and romantic relationships with men and choose to develop relationships with women instead. They may or may not be sexually attracted to women, and they may or may not engage in sex with women. They may believe that sexual orientation can be freely chosen, or that "lesbianism" doesn't require homosexuality, only not having sex with men and orienting one's life around women. The concept of political lesbianism originated in the 1970s and '80s. It is controversial; many lesbians find the term offensive because they regard their sexual attraction to women as innate rather than chosen and define their lesbianism based on that attraction, regardless of politics.
Feminist scholar Sheila Jeffreys advocated political lesbianism as a way for feminists to center their lives around other women.
