Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsHenceforth, 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.
