Political Picking

The cynical, real-world practice in governance where politicians and bureaucrats selectively enforce laws, award contracts, or direct resources not by objective criteria, but to reward allies, punish opponents, and secure future political advantage. It's the application of bias as a tool of state power, turning public policy into a mechanism for maintaining private political capital.

Example: A city government fast-tracks building permits for developers who are major campaign donors, while "losing" the permits of developers who support the opposition. This Political Picking uses the neutral machinery of administration to perform partisan favoritism, creating a shadow system of rewards and punishments.
