Reality Politics

When political hopefuls run their campaign as if they were starring on a reality TV show. Extremist remarks made by "celebriticians" (celebrity politicians) for the sole purpose of getting free publicity and increasing their ratings. A hybrid of reality TV and politics.

Wow... Donald Trump is engaging in some serious reality politics!

Can't wait to see if Donald Trump yells, "You're fired!" at Obama when he takes his Oath of Office next year... That would make for some great reality politics!

Politics

A way to gently prove that you’re better and smarter than everyone. Usually by a person who knows as much about democrats as he does about what a pussy looks like.

Best mindset- politics are important but when someone is saying a joke that’s not a pass to start pissing glue

Politically Homeless

An individual who feels disconnected from all political parties, believing that none accurately represent their views or priorities. This term often applies to those who feel let down by existing political opinions, finding no party that aligns with their values or vision for the future. This particularly applies to individuals currently living in Alberta, Canada.

Politics

Politics is boring no matter what party is in power.

Democrat, Republican, New Guy/Girl party doesn't matter, politics is the same bullshit in a different form no matter what party is in power.

Political Sandstorm

A situation where the politics related to that specific issue cause so much controversy in the media and society and bickering between the various political parties over what is, how serious it is, and how to address it that it is almost impossible to grasp what really happened in that situation because you are unable clearly see what occurred.

Person 1: It is hard tell what is really happened in regards to whether or not Russia intelligence hacked into the U.S. election in order to manipulate the results.

Person 2: It is still hard tell what happened even today because of how the politicians and society responded. The political sandstorm related to that issue will likely not wear off for quite some time.

Selective political pressure

A tactic employed by certain politicians and groups that want to push their political agendas where that group or politician will say and or do certain things related to supporting or opposing specific issues in order to get certain types of reactions from particular populations, interest groups, and or, in some cases, other politicians. They usually do this to get more votes from different populations in society, or to get more financial and or political support from particular interest groups.

Natasha: I heard Senator Murkowski recently gave a speech on how they supported efforts of oil companies to begin drilling in certain parts of Alaska. I’m not sure why she would give a speech like that when she supports moving the country towards using renewable energy sources to prevent climate change, which negatively impacts many populations in her state. I could cost her their support down the line.
Ronald: She maybe employing selective political pressure in order to get more support from certain oil companies and specific Native American communities by appearing to support an issue they care about.
