when a politician or political party disagrees with a particular stance merely for the sake of disagreeing with the other side
"I just disproved those feminists on the wage gap and they yelled at me and told me I was bigoted."
"Ahh, they're just playing politics."
"Ahh, they're just playing politics."

Get the playing politicsmug. Keeping an old acquaintance or colleague whom you dislike as a Facebook friend in an effort to appear polite.
Person 1: I can't believe Jim is still friends with his crazy-bitch ex!!
Person 2: He isn't, he's just being Facebook polite.

Get the Facebook politemug. A phrase that alt-right assholes use when told that they're being an asshole when they call someone a nigger.
Fox news viewer: Those filthy BLM people are a bunch of niggers.
Guy: that's racist
Fox news viewer: I'm so sick of your Political correctness you snowflake.

Get the Political correctnessmug. unparty politics is someone who refuses to define themselves as republican or democrat. they agree that both parties are representative of a classist, elitist ruling class.
someone who's an unparty politic believes that bush and kerry are pretty much the same guy in different packaging.

Get the unparty politicmug. an issue presented by one party or the other that is not a political issue at all, yet is tossed around by politicians to gain sway or distract voters from the REAL issues. Abortion, DACA, and gay rights to name a few.
Republicans throw around their abortion argument like a political football to prevent real discourse on reproductive rights for women. Democrats toss around this political football in their own right, resulting in neither talking about reproductive rights in general, but rather a personal religious belief.
