Would it be fair to say political as used by some people really just refers to heated, divisive, or even just unpleasant?

Not referring to anything on this forum, I just feel the word is misused at times.
...only if both sides are coopted by special interest groups, begin catering “to the middle” to gain membership while executing hidden agendas, ignore the greater good, base candidate selection purely on amount of money raised for the party, perpetuate a system of tacit exclusivity, purposely create “grey areas” to exploit in law and system, and take every step possible to retain control through administrations. Hypothetically speaking, of course.
