That's utter bullshit.Term limits would only lead to more corruption. You're going after the low hanging fruit. Those corrupting politics would continue their ways but it would be more costly and thus they'd expect more from those they're buying.
I helped vote Trump out, so you’re obviously wrong.That's because you favor keeping corrupt politicians in office. You're nothing but a servile toady.
That only slows the process. It doesn’t stop it in its tracks.Only one senator is needed to block a unanimous consent request — a procedural move typically reserved for items that aren’t controversialTed Cruz shuts down federal voting bill before U.S. Senate leaves for recess, dashing Texas Democrats’ hopes
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz blocked a last Democratic attempt to pass federal voting rights legislation this summer. The Senate left town but is expected to pick up the issue again in the fall.
Yes to both with some exceptions. Mainly on the local level. Auditor, recorder and engineer you may have trouble filling these positions. There may be more I am not aware of.Term limits for EVERY public office and all judges. We also need age cut offs.
It's time to stop making public service a windfall
People are easily brainwashed and who don't follow politics.People vote how they want. Don’t like it? Don’t care.
Trump was the only politician that wasn't corrupt. That's why all the bootlicking morons like you vote against him.I helped vote Trump out, so you’re obviously wrong.
I've never seen much point. If they're doing a good job, we should keep them in there as long as they want to do the job. The problem is in the way the two parties have clamped down the election system. It ensures that combative partisanship will carry the day, rather than consensus building and leadership.Term limits for EVERY public office and all judges. We also need age cut offs.

What is surprising about corrupt politicians who lie?We did this "term limits" dance with Gingriches Contract ON America.
Not a one of those GOP legislators that pledged to self term limit themselves did so
Screw the consensus building. Whenever politicians agree on something, it usually involves fucking the voters up the ass.I've never seen much point.

I'm talking about public consensus, not backroom DC deal-making.Screw the consensus building. Whenever politicians agree on something, it usually involves fucking the voters up the ass.
Rather than term limits, I would support election reforms that do not give incumbents an advantage, and I would take dark money out of the system.
That may not be sufficient – it will likely require a Constitutional convention.Start your Constitutional Amendment, because that's what it needs.
