> Politicians' only job is to get elected.

Cynicism is a variety of compliance in advance. It creates the conditions it decries.

Obviously there are corrupt politicians. But also obviously there are politicians who actually want to advance the public interest. It is the job of voters to tell them apart and ensure only the latter become the custodians of state power.
