Are there ways to have political experience without holding an office position?
If the only way to have political experience is holding an office position, there will come a time when the only people you can vote for are dudes with no political experience: eventually some council member or city mayor will die and nobody with “actual experience” will campaign.
Do you just not apply this metric to local offices, or to people who have held a local office position?

it depends on how strictly you define political experience, in this case i define it as having actual relevant experience to the position and job at hand, as well as the bodies behind it (civil education, of which most people do not have)
if you define it loosely, something like “being politically educated” i’m more qualified for holding presidency than trump is.
of course i would argue lower levels of position require less experience, for example being a house or senate member. These things require a lot less knowledge than being a president. Still a good amount of knowledge, but you can manage these with little to no information, if you’re intelligent and capable.
