What's the argument for term limits?

[goat]

Pffft. Just stop. Even if all (enough) Americans rise up, most of that can go on unimpeded.

The main problems with America today are at the federal level. With the bureaus (separate from the next part), and the House and the Senate being immune to laws others have to abide by.

Who voted for if politicians get elected, they're better than us? They did! During Carter and Reagan's 2nd Congress.

That's how recently it got screwed up so bad.

I'm of the opinion that can be rolled back to where they have to be accountable for their actions.

It can be done.

I agree with the first part but if it can be rolled back, why do they need so many militarized police?

Do think they can take America? I do not.
Congress does not want it rolled back. 90% of them are beyond redemption.

They are so used to taking bribes and fucking the people they're useless.

I know some might hate for me to say AOC is not in that group, but she isn't.

A significant number of other reps aren't, either.

When you get to the Senate, the corruption level multiplies exponentially.

Maybe grafty Scott, LMAO! and umm..Ted Cruz..

and uh..who can think of a decent Senator?

Biden was a Senator for almost 50 years.

He never did a damn thing good for America in all that time.

He's not alone in that. Many others have been there for decades and done not damn a damn good thing for their states or America.

Insurance companies and corporations made out pretty good, though

Congress has been raping Americans for decades now, and bureaus are government bloat funded by working people.

Every government worker is a leech on private business. Some are necessary, many are not.

Term limits. Keep me from voting for my representative over and over. If you do not stop me, I will vote for the person I want. That should not be allowed.
Of course, he can be voted out in one term. Those are real term limits.
I hope more states do it because powerful positions in the house and senate are rewarded by seniority. That gives mine more power.

I can't imagine voting for a man who left a woman to die in a lake, then later named his dog "Splash" (true story) but I have no input as to whether anybody in MA should or shouldn't vote for him. I just have less respect for anybody that did. However if we want to maintain we have citizen leadership we should limit terms so that we can stop folks who believe they are immune from the law from continuing to make laws.

The fact that it was a Portuguese Water Dog probably had something to do with his naming it “Splash”

I do not condone Kennedy’s actions, and think he should have been arrested and tried for her death, but naming his dog happened 28 years after the accident. I don’t find it offensive.

 

[Phantasmal]

Think Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Think every Supreme Court justice. I support term limits for justices and judges.

I would avoid any aspect of looking like I thought that was something I should dismiss from my consciousness. Seriously. I just would not allow that name because of that incident. I still avoid certain names and doing certain things to avoid looking like I am dismissive of the past like that.

Even if I had a water dog, I would not name anything "splash" after an incident like that.

I still think less of folks that voted for him after that incident, and will forever regardless of the dogs name. I just think the dogs name made it abundantly clear that he had dismissed that incident and had no issue appearing to be careless about it.

I'm in the camp with systemic breakdown. Politicians and judges will go into hiding. A self-imposed exile is a form of term limits.

yeah. I guess a revolution is a hard term limit. nice take.

Living long enough for revolt is at the top of my bucket list.
