The Rules

I am sorry, but you are incorrect. The word politics comes from polity, meaning a group of people who share an identity. When you say that politics is "power plays and public relations," you are repeating propaganda that was designed to disenfranchise people. Politics is about working on a shared project: building a good society. Bad actors have infiltrated politics, but they don't get to replace the basic meaning of the word.
