Governing

I could be speaking about a lot of things here, but very generally, to a great degree things run themselves. That is, they are somewhat on autopilot with the people who run them doing their jobs - maybe well, maybe not - independent of whatever politicians or journalists are yammering about. 

The "politics show" exists largely independently from the actual functioning of governing.

Many politicians get caught up in the politics show and largely forget their side gig of governing.
