I just described how term limits might help in this situation - politicians wouldn't be afraid of saying/doing the wrong thing and not getting re-elected.How does term limits solve anything? What exactly do you think they should be doing instead of what is going on today?They're terrified to. The Democrats don't want to annoy an important voting bloc and the Republicans are too intimidated by the threat of being called racists.Its the elephant in the room they won't discuss. Another is the vast amount of crime illegals commit. Rape, robbery, murder, they took over meth trafficking and string out our young people on that crap, they ignore our laws, drive under the influence with no insurance maiming and killing our citizens. When was the last time you heard a politician on either side addressing this?Good luck having an honest conversation about that fact.In arguably the most liberal city in the country San Francisco, black women make up 6% of the population but commit nearly 50% of female crime.

Our "leaders" have to lead on this, and they don't have the balls, they're more concerned with fundraising and re-election.
This is just another example of why term limits are needed.
.
If some well-known politicians from both parties had the balls to stop pointing the finger at the other side and start admonishing theirs to clean their own houses, that might create the momentum that will be needed. And part of that momentum might be other "leaders", from entertainment to sports to clergy.

Ok, I hire you as my financial adviser. In so doing I tell you that no matter how well you have done you will be fired in 2 or 4 years. Or would you rather me say, I will evaluate what you have done and will continue with you until I am unhappy with your performance.
"politicians wouldn't be afraid of saying/doing the wrong thing and not getting re-elected"
Isn't that what we really want out of people that work for us? If they had term limits is the natural result will be they no longer care if they say or do something wrong?
In my opinion, an educated electorate would be more effective.
