For politics, I thought the problem was that politicians who care about anything except being reelected don’t get reelected. So convincing a politician to be more principled is pointless since even if you succeed, they’ll just get fired and replaced by someone less principled.

Right, so the response would be “just don’t worry about getting re-elected and try to get some shit done in your term”.
