What is politics for you? Describe it in the simplest word you can think of.
One word is not enough, yes I know it is huge. Let us just try. I'll start by saying "Politics is power".
lies.......................................................................................
Muck. When I think of politics I just see this dark, dirty, thick mire and it makes me think of "muck."
mind-numbingly frustrating would be a good short phrase to describe it
An excuse for elected officials to put being " for the people" on the back burner.
Politics is the highest level of banditry... the art of robbing the nation in the name of public service.
People who are capable of taking care of community by devoting their lives of doing the right things.
A win-lose situation.
Politicians always win. People who vote for their politicians always lose one way or the other.
Politics is "a farce"
I have received a message that my answer is too short though I am abiding by your stated rule of a "one word description." I like this exercise as brevity is sometimes more.
Politics is power. Power is bad money. Bad Money helps Politics to create more Power and more money. It is vicious circle.
Politics is self centered activity pretending to help others. In some cases, they are really helping people. On a national level the basic purpose is to control the masses. Not a totally bad thing. If you take it away, you have total chaos. There are horrible sides to politics as well. Unjust laws and taxes, taking money unnecesarily from the public to fill a bottomless pit, mind control etc. Fortunately, there are ways to be free of it.
Sri T, what an anti-climax when you stop abruptly with: "Fortunately, there are ways to be free of it"!!!
Some things cannot be discussed on an international public forum. In other words, they have access to everything you say on the internet.....hahaha
