Ah, but now you've made the term "politics" meaningless, as what I had for breakfast falls under your new definition that encompasses everything.

- snerbles 11y agoHow is your breakfast meaningless? Did it contain meat, or genetically modified organisms? Was it grown with water in a drought-stricken area, or from a subsidized or non-unionized farm? Have you considered its carbon footprint? Someone, somewhere, has opinions on that breakfast of yours...and some of those folks have the power to enact those opinions. If it somehow involves policy, power and status - no matter how petty - there are politics attached. See in particular definitions 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5: https://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/politics https://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_en...
- vdaniuk 11y agoIf members of your breakfast group have various preferences and you are negotiating contents, place and price of breakfast then yes, sure it's politics :)
