What part are you missing? I've been on about politics for ages now. We are all politicians and it sucks for me to watch intelligent folks like you deny it.
Of course I could be wrong but we are having a debate right now. Does that make us the politicians?
Like I stated, it's a generic term that is used by people to label one or the other. There's politics in everyday life and denying that fact only goes to prove ignorance.
Railing on about this or that and putting people into two separate groups is stupid and saying we're all the same is even more stupid. If you want to go live the rest of your days in a mud hut somewhere and never go outside, that's fine with me but don't come crying if a natural disaster blows your hut away.
