Politics is the art of governing an administrative entity, such as a city or nation, as well as the methods and beliefs involved in that management.
In a democracy, people who share broad political goals often gather into parties to mobilize fundraising and create a unified manifesto, called a party platform. In a multi-party state, such as the United States, politics can be adversarial but in a productive way.
In a single-party state, such as communist China or Nazi Germany, politics amounts to a process of rubber-stamping the decisions of a small ruling group.
In a theocracy, conservative rulers control everything. They also like to misinform people, just like conservapedia does.
