POLITICS - Am I involved in it?
Politics cannot be ignored by any one, Every one is involved in politics but in varying levels. Politics influences "governance" and governments influences people's life. The word "politics" for some is a negative word and the reason is because of people like Chris Christie who assign the word "that is just politic" to incidents like Donald trump not following through on his campaign statement of "prosecuting hillary"
Here I am not sure my limited English knowledge will understand what he means by "that is politics.." maybe he meant "it is just a game we played like the wrestling match" or he meant that was just a "rhetoric"
IMHO Politics refers to the "policies and procedures" that governs and influences a society and does not mean "games" "rhetoric"
Everyone in the society are to varying levels involved in politics from none to the person intending to get elected to the extremists and the silent protesters, the persons who vote, the persons who do not vote (also are involved in the politics, because they are indirectly letting "one" candidate with the most voter turnout to have a possible win), the person who is posting online comments, everyone. No one can say "I am not involved in politics, but can say I am less involved in politics"
Remember inaction is also an involvement in politics.
To act is human, inaction can be a temporary thing maybe to take time, but inaction is never the final state.
Let us remember the words of the Democrat President Harry S.Truman (1945–53) who also happened to nuke Japan in WW. Maybe he said that to justify is historical "drop"
