No. This nonsense about people who are dedicated at their jobs vs Trump-like idiots who have no idea what they’re doing is just wrong.
What matters is NOT “career” politicians, but good politicians and bad politicians.
For example Bernie is (now) a “career politician” and AOC wasn’t, but probably is now. Both are good and are examples of good politicians.
If you want to whine about how there’s more bad career politicians than good ones, I’ll also remind you that there’s more “career politicians” than not.
In short, it’s a nonsensical delimiter. It’s a thought terminating cliche.
And it’s lazy.
You can vote for and promote positive change without being an idiot on Lemmy about it.
Bernie has accomplished more on your behalf than a series of clueless rookies would have.
“bUT carEeR POliTiciANS!”
these children are such idiots - and it’s thinking like theirs that gave us Trump.
I’ve spent the last 2 decades campaigning for and voting for positive change for my peers. You can go fuck yourself and your regressive opinions.

We can disagree without you being a complete fucking scumbag about it.
Or at least, I thought we could.
You’re a disgrace to your peers.
wah wah wah. jeeze you’re a whiny crybaby.
So that’s one example of a good career politician.
Do you think the good:bad ratio for career politicians is 50:50?
If we eradicated all the career politicians, we would be removing a LOT of bad faith shitheads and yes, a few good ones too.
But we would have the chance to reshape our system to be FUNCTIONAL without nepotism and greed blocking it for a change.
So if I find myself voting for either Bernie or some clueless rookie, which should it be?
Run yourself, you’re a political genius, after all
So then a clueless rookie over Bernie. Your suggestion is that the left unilaterally handicaps itself.
