No no no. That’s not how campaigning actually works. You need quick sound bytes, and promises that sound good if you don’t ever think about them. They don’t even have to be true. They just need to make the voter feel good. Just quick promises that can be said in 2-3 seconds, and doesn’t require you to think. Once you try to introduce free thought and critical thinking into politics the whole concept of elections falls apart if your whole agenda is to herd the masses.
Which is why if you elect me president, I promise that no more airplanes will be used to hit the twin towers. Also bacon.
