Most local politicians I know don’t get paid (school board, commissioners, etc) or they get paid very little for the time they put in.
If you count up all the expected folks in the USA, less than 1% are what you think of as “politicians.” They are mostly just people you see at the grocery store

No, for the simple reason that some (yes, definitely not enough) politicians are trying to actually do good things. Cops are bad because they’re enforcers of any and all laws, and nobody has purely good laws/etc.
The only case where all politicians are bad is in pure, actual communism, which cannot exist at this point in history.
