Let's get very specific and logical. There's also the 'we' in the form of people who don't work in politics. I don't. Many others don't. 'We' all have functionally zero say in what happens politically unless we do something drastic like leave work and cause a commotion. There is a 'them' which is people who made a full-time career in politics or revolving-door in and out of it. That 'them' seem to think they can control how 'we' life our lives. Just because an outsider can become an insider by join a party and working hard to climb the ladder doesn't prevent them from being a special cadre. Just because there's complex forms of 'them' such as defense-sector, intelligence-sector, etc. doesn't mean I can't group all such political powers as 'them'. And though sometimes they do, they don't have to share a bloodline to be a 'them'. Their profession depends not on their own inventions (like ours does) but on controlling us. That makes them a them and us an us. It is that simple. If you don't think these groups or patterns exist, I'd encourage you to meet some CIA agents. Or Washington defense contractors. Go get a job with them. Try joining them for a whole. You can practically smell the power-lust on them. The love of secrecy. The need to feel special. It's a profession where you don't have to make a profit or provide value for value. It's totally different at a glance. I haven't met many politicians outside of a handshake but I'd guess they're about the same.
