    In highschool I once ran for the position of student council treasurer more as a lark than anything else. I ran a campaign of complete honesty and assured my fellow students that I would lie and steal and basically wallow in corruption, however, there would always be money when they needed it and I would keep my skimming within reasonable limits.

    I lost that election.

      You didn’t lie about lying, that’s where you failed. You should’ve lied harder and actually held it for yourself, then you’d have been believable, smh.
