Would you support REAL term limits?

Takes a lot more than a single legislator to stop a bill

Only one senator is needed to block a unanimous consent request — a procedural move typically reserved for items that aren’t controversial

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.

That's utter bullshit.

That's because you favor keeping corrupt politicians in office. You're nothing but a servile toady.

I helped vote Trump out, so you’re obviously wrong.

That only slows the process. It doesn’t stop it in its tracks.

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

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.

People vote how they want. Don’t like it? Don’t care.

People are easily brainwashed and who don't follow politics.

Trump was the only politician that wasn't corrupt. That's why all the bootlicking morons like you vote against him.

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

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.

What is surprising about corrupt politicians who lie?

Screw the consensus building. Whenever politicians agree on something, it usually involves fucking the voters up the ass.

You provide a wonderful example of that.

But I still wouldn’t take away your freedom to vote for who you want.

A fascist might.

He was quite corrupt. People just are brainwashed.

What evidence shows that I'm brainwashed? Your the one who wants to keep corrupt politicians in office.

Absolutely

He isn't getting paid by Burisma Holdings and the Chinese government.

How was Trump "corrupt?"

Yes...3 terms in the House, 1 term in the Senate. Judges sit for 20 years and out....

I'm talking about public consensus, not backroom DC deal-making.

And consensus is what we need. There's simply no point in passing laws with 50.1% majority when the other side will just neuter those laws when they're back in power. I'd vote for the first Presidential candidate who promised to veto any bill that didn't have broad support (70%+).

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.

Moron, your party, the democrats, is all about dark money...money isn't the issue...since lots of rich people fail to get elected......cheating is the actual issue.

Start your Constitutional Amendment, because that's what it needs.

That may not be sufficient – it will likely require a Constitutional convention.
