Of course not. They are all paid for by the Koch brothers, George Soros, Bill Gates, and Jeff Bezos.
Yes.
Politics =/= Politicians
LoL - who could have seen that reply coming?
Definition of politician
1: a person experienced in the art or science of government,especially : one actively engaged in conducting the business of a government
2a: a person engaged in party politics as a profession
b: often disparaging : a person primarily interested in political office for selfish or other narrow usually short-sighted reasons
you don't get to give words whatever meaning you want.
Read the definition. An unelected bureaucrat doesn't meet it. Policy has to be mandated by elected officials. But I'll tell you what, for the sake of conversation I'll say he's an unelected politician. What does that change?
lol wut? pick a definition and I'll explain how Anthony Fauci, PhD or any other bureaucrat meets it
So are you just flatly incapable of answering direct questions? Yes or yes?
politicians effect policy, like mask-wearing.
The general public also effects policy. Are they also politicians?
easy on the trigger, hero. It was only a few sentences, but it there was so much wrong with it I had to break it in to pieces
LoL - are they skilled in the art and science of government?
this just gets funnier and funnier.
wut are you going on about?

if the general public isn't experienced in the art or science of gov't (they're not) then they're not politicians. Maybe they're politicians in their role at work or at home, but not in the context of public policy.
Tony Fauci, PhD IS a politician.

You're cherry picking which parts of the definition you want to apply so you can cast a large net and catch your target but also omit others that would demonstrate how ridiculous you're being. Ultimately whether or not he meets the definition of politician is completely irrelevant to anything but you seem hung up on it for some ideological reason.
