Political buzzwords you hate

"Policy wonk", this is used when the candidate being propped up has zero charisma and cannot give a good speech
"Get Out the Vote", this is code for bus and van rides to the polls with a free dinner provided. Republicans should call this for what it is, enticing people who wouldn't ordinarily vote with free shite

"Obama" is a word I've not liked very much over the past decade.

Optics
It's either factual or it's not. Optics be damned.

I hated when “spinning” replaced “lying” because biased MSM had to protect the Clinton administration!

"crowd source"
and any sort of prediction. The entire poll prediction niche is built on a fallacy. It's pointless. Sort of like mock drafts.

"Rhetoric" is completely overused

I remember the media calling Hillary a policy wonk way back in the early 90's

Everyone being sure to tell the exact same lie is called 'talking point' on TV and 'narrative' in print.

It's also used a lot on Paul Ryan. Hillary is more egregious considering her platform last year.

Actually it's code for providing the underprivileged a means to exercise their right to vote

Imaginary terms that have no basis in fact are also annoying to hear in adult conversation, such as:
Gender wage gap
White privilege
Rape culture
Hate speech

White privilege
Rape culture

“Polling”
A recent poll indicates no one gives a shite about polling*
*this poll is not scientific

It got so bad with Hillary they had to invent the term, misspeak.

Not sure it's just limited to politics but "bombshell". Every new allegation or report of anything is a "bombshell".

I change the channel whenever I hear “rhetoric.”
Also when people say “tick tock” in relation to some huge political news that never amounts to anything. OMG BREAKING

“Conversation”
As in, we need to have a conversation on race relations in America.
“It’s Mueller time”
Liberals use this term and think they actually have a case against TRUMP.
