political football

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.

political edging

Political edging is the practice of enjoying taking yourself, or being brought, to the point where you think an election is almost over, and a candidate is about to be chosen, then stopping or being stopped, before reaching the peak in which a candidate would be chosen.

This week has been fodder for the political edging I like to do at least once very four years.

Politic Hands

It's what a politician's hands become when they are suddenly thrust into the spotlight. It takes some serious time to polish and groom this look as they feel that keeping their hands together at chest level, whilst gesticulating, makes us citizens feel that they are more trustworthy. Behind closed doors, they're hands return to their normal function.

Damn! That candidate looks like he's the real deal! I can tell because his Politic Hands show me that he would never steer us wrong!

Political correctness

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.

Political Virginity

The Virginity of not being a political shoehorner.

Wow, that YouTube just uploaded a video where he shoehorned political crap everywhere despite it being unneeded, he just lost his Political Virginity.
