Simplified Meaning:

Most politicians do things that make people distrust all of them. Just a few politicians may genuinely try to do good, but the dishonest or corrupt actions of the majority spoil the image for everyone. Imagine in a classroom where nine out of ten students always cheat on their tests. Even if one student works hard and never cheats, people might still look at that student with suspicion because they’re in the same group as the cheaters. This situation explains why many people have a negative view of politicians. They see so many examples of bad behavior that they find it hard to believe there are any good ones. If someone wants to apply this idea to their life, they should remember not to judge entire groups based on the actions of a few. Try to recognize and support the individuals who are genuinely honest and hardworking, no matter what group they belong to.
