I do politic, but only when it comes to principles. I'm not too fond of personalities, and I do enjoy the battle of ideas and philosophies. Personalities are necessary to implement those ideas and philosophies, but that is somewhat secondary. Too bad much of politics is just boisterousness and mud slinging.
I don’t politic and just get my decisions from what I believe. However I do enjoy a good joke and the delivery in this is spot on.

Principles is a word I associate more with beliefs than politics. Of course I too have to engage with the masses and with government which necessarily results in doing politics in a way, but the motivating factor is principle, aka belief.

Exactly. That's the problem. No one thinks about the important truths anymore. Instead, they're thinking about getting one over on the other guys.
I'm principled too. It's why and how I vote. I wish others did too.
For me, the principle of politics is in its root as a word: "polis" means city, and politics is *supposed to be* the art of living well in community. We ought to discuss how to live well together, but the conversation deteriorates into us vs them and infighting over less meaningful details.
That’s interesting. Didn’t know the meaning of polis. Might simply be an issue with how reality unfolds and politics working to save the people is a bit like any other utopia.
