Politicians are tools, much like blender, vacuum cleaners, light bulbs, etc. that are bought and owned for the purpose doing a specific task for the owner.
Just as light bulbs create light for the user, and blenders mix the ingredients the user puts in it, pols write and approve the laws the user wants.
People, OTOH, exhibit independent thought, consciousness, etc. They also possess attributes like empathy, character, etc. not found in household items or other tools.
Lastly, pols, light bulbs, etc. can be replaced. Lives, OTOH, cannot.
I have little love for politicians.. but damn, you make me feel like mother Teresa
