If you want to know what kind of politics I believe in, you’ll be happy to know it has nothing to do with partisan groups or party affiliations. This word best describes my approach.
realpolitik (re·al·po·li·tik): / ray AHL poh li teek / (often capitalized unnecessarily; always italicized)
noun
(1) politics based on pragmatism, realism, and practical and material considerations, and not concerned with theoretical ideals
(2) a national policy (usually of expansionism) based on a single core principle of advancing the national interest (uncommon)
[From German real (“actual”) + politik (“politics or policy”); literally meaning “real politics.”]
Usage: It’s difficult to find people who believe in and practice realpolitik as opposed to partisan hackery.
