Polytics 

A word used to describe the complicated and intricate entanglements of being in polyamorous relationships. Often associated with frustrating nature of jealousy vs compersion, time management, and trying to remember the seemingly endless web of connectivity between people involved in polyamory.

observer 1: How come Ben and Carly are here together? I thought Carly always spent the weekends with Patricia?

Observer 2: Ah, well Carly and Patricia had a disagreement on wednesday about how much time Patricia was spending with Michelle and Patrick, so Carly decided to spend the weekend with Ben, and then when Ben goes on holiday with his boyfriend Noah, Carly and Patricia are going to sit down and talk about their feelings, and decide whether they are still each other's primary partner or if the dynamic has shifted. There's a lot of polytics involved.

Joe: "This is typical fast food politics."

Jose: "Did Hunter just snitch on others and cause a nervous breakdown at this store?"

Joe: "Yeah, he stirred things up by going back and forth between people, and everyone is stewing over this fake drama. He may just want more hours by tattling and throwing others under the bus by exaggerating things. It's typical fast food politics."

American Politics 

While the definition of politics states, "the art or science concerned with guiding or influencing governmental policy, m-w.com", American Politics is where elected officials debate unrealistic and unreasonable proposals in order to pander to their base and get re-elected.

American Politics is why that gay marriage amendment has no chance in hell of being ratified.

Because of the intricacies (difficult to resolve or analyze, m-w.com) of American Politics, democrats are responding to that bullshit proposal with a rediculously short pull-out deadline.

A.K.A: Cluster-Fucking

respectability politics 

Refers to attempts by marginalized groups to police their own members and show their social values as being continuous and compatible with mainstream values rather than challenging the mainstream for its failure to accept difference.

Person 1: If black people get an education, pull up their pants, and stop committing crimes, then they will never have to worry about negative encounters with the police.

Person 2: Please can that respectability politics mess. James Blake went to Harvard, was a star athlete, and never committed a crime, but that didn't prevent an officer in the NYPD from tackling and body slamming him to the ground.
