Political Election

A seduction into power. A candidate promises all kinds of bullshit to increase their appeal and convince the blissfully ignorant to vote for them. Once in power they have everything they need and therefore don't have to give a damn about the masses anymore. And to rub salt into the wound all the bullshit they promised before the election is revealed to be: bullshit, much to the dismay of voters. Strangely the majority doesn't seem to catch on and this method has been utilised to the same effect ever since.
Political elections are bullshit. Next time you see the successor to the throne preaching about how much better your lives are going to be once they're in the power palace, get out there and hunt these traitors down, hang them for deceiving the public and take back the money they were taking off you to fund the austerity brigade, arms dealers, media circus, conformity agents and the domination state.

political party

A group of individuals who share a similar political philosophy. The two major parties in the United States are the Republican and Democratic parties. According to UrbanDictionary, both parties are failures and a waste of power, time, and money. In reality, neither party likes each other, especially in policy making. Political party preference is the main reason this country is "divided," since each party takes a particular stance on certain issues such as abortion and gay rights.
Person A: Fuck you! You're a Republican!
Person B: Fuck you! You're a Democrat!

Did you see that guy go into the bar where they have both fiscally responsible initiatives but are still socially liberal? I really think he’s bi-political. Do you get that vibe from him, too?
