If a person is going into politics because they crave fame and recognition, they're a shitty politician and we shouldn't reward that kinda behavior. They certainly aren't honorable.

The people who should go into politics are people with firm principles who have something they believe in, and are willing to potentially take flack in order to achieve those goals. Unfortunately, that mostly describes the Republican party, and their principles suck, but it also describes Zohran Mamdani who should be the new model of Dem.
