>The "I'm okay being miserable as long as you're more miserable" crowd has always had a strong showing in this country.

> I guess it depends on what you mean by "materials". It's quite common in US elections for politicians to make claims that are completely contrary to their actual actions. Even for objective facts, like I voted for X bill when they didn't.
