politicians really have had it too easy for too long. they fear nothing from the public. there are no repercussions whatsoever to openly lying. they are protected from all criticism. we're even at the point where people excuse them and just say, "all politicians lie anyway". it shouldn't be normal. it should be a crime on the level of treason. if this were really a democracy, then there would be a new election when the party breaks their promises. not when they fail, but when they directly and intentionally go hard the opposite direction to what they promised to get your vote.
