Lies are used in political campaigns to make people feel excited and hopeful. Imagine a candidate is like a magician, they use tricks (like lies) to make you believe they can do amazing things, even if it's not all true. Sometimes the trick works, and people vote for them. Other times, the trick gets exposed, and people get upset.
Examples
- A candidate says they will give every student free lunch, but that might not be true.
