Why politics rhymes the way it does
Pull politics apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the short /ษช/ (/ษช/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close softens into a fricative tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 85, assonance 7,920, and consonance 0. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Politics reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
