Promiseering is the cynical use of promises to obtain consent or support from a base for a short term course of action that secures a position of leverage for the promiser, with the option of abandoning the promise when the leverage is obtained.
During election campaigns, some politicians may resort to promiseering tactics to secure the vote for themselves.

Get the Promiseering mug.I promise you this
I will be the mirror that reflects your kindness
I will honor the stillness we’ve built
I will never take for granted
the way your heart holds the parts of me
I was too afraid to carry alone.
Life is loud but you are the music
I am finally, deeply, irrevocably...yours
They say the world belongs to the strong
but I believe it belongs to the ones who find
a love that lets them be weak
I promise to stay in this understanding
I promise to be the one who listens
to the heartbeat you usually hide
You are my witness, my rest and my softest truth
You are the happy of my soul.
I was lost in the noise
but in your arms, our pulse throbs
More than gold, its all I want
That peace, is priceless and enough.
