In view of politicians making promises before an election but invariably breaking them after an election.
Therefore the lowest possible denominator of the value of something can be described in this way.
'Jack's commitment to give up smoking is as worthless as an election promise.'
'Yeah, he won't last a day.'

A politician elected to the position of President on a platform of "change". Apparently he defines "change" as the appointment of all of Clinton's ex-staffers to his administration.
I wonder what position President-Elect Obama will give Monica Lewinsky.

Post-Election Selection Trauma or PEST for short, is a made up disorder for pompus, self-centered, elitist individuals that can't fathom the fact that they lost an election. It is mainly experienced by liberals and French lovers alike, and was first diagnosed after the 2004 Presidential Election. It's symptoms include but are not limited to: feelings of withdrawal, feelings of isolation, emotional anger and bitterness, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, nightmares, pervasive moodiness including endless sulking, and being excessively worried about the direction of the country.
In otherwords, the diagnosis is "You're a Sore Loser, get over it."
Hippie: "Bob stopped showing up to our drum circle meetings and couldn't eat his organic humus anymore. He's having intense hypno-therapy sessions and electroshock therapy now. His therapist said he is suffering from PEST, Post-Election Selection Trauma."
Normal Person: "What a pussy."

(a new, mythical, mental disorder defined after Donald Trump won the presidency on Nov 8, 2016): a type of depression among voting age young adults 18-45, following the loss of your favorite political candidate at the federal elections, so severe that you are not socially, academically or legally functional anymore
Most left-leaning liberal social scientists, academics and pundits don't understand that IMHO this new, mythical post-election depression syndrome can actually be very easily cured; all one needs to do is consciously and rationally realize that your candidate lost and that retargerous actions such as civil disobedience, general violence, vandalism, destruction of property and other related forms of social protest are meaningless, making it more likely that you will get a file with the Unforegiveables.

What Kevin McCarthy heard way too many times when he tried to secure the speaker's gavel...
More and more Republicans are voting to not elect Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House, leading to the House Clerk declaring that a speaker has not been elected.
