Henceforth, no one may use the term "Kabuki Theater" to describe politics

With two exceptions:

1. The speaker is an actual member of a Kabuki Theater ensemble

2. The speaker can give a detailed and thorough definition of "Kabuki Theater" and indicate why, exactly, the political issue in question is best described as such

Beyond that, anyone who uses the term is a big silly.

I've actually been a member of a clusterfuck and I trust I don't have to define it for you.

to stop hearing everything referred to as a. “conversation.” Politics, sports, you name it, every damn thing is a conversation.
