Politicians sometimes tell lies to make themselves look better or win more votes. Imagine if you're playing a game and you say you can run faster than your friend, but you know you can't, that's like lying in politics. People might believe the lie because they want to believe it.
Examples
- A politician says they will bring free ice cream for everyone if you vote for them, but it turns out to be only free ice cream on election day.
- During a campaign speech, a senator claims to have never made any mistakes in their career, even though people know that's not true.
- A candidate promises the moon and the stars, but after winning, they can barely keep their own promise of giving everyone a new pencil.
