I am a Joe Schmoe in the context of this discussion, yes. My decisions don't affect anyone except myself and maybe some close friends/family. A politician's words and actions affect thousands, if not millions of people. If you expect nothing of your representatives, that's exactly what you'll get, assuming they don't make things even worse.
John Fetterman comes to mind, who's honest even in his appearance when wearing the hoodie and basketball shorts. Michael Bennett is also a very straightforward guy, just doesn't have the personality or media presence to make a real run at president.
