Term limits

[thewakokid]

Has anyone in the lefty bubble picked up the rumoured term limits yet?

How are we feeling about it? Has that feeling changed since it's the red side proposing it? Any credit being given as a "Bad people making a good change?" Linda thing?

If you'll forgive a bit of snarky cynicism, Have specific instructions to oppose it come down through the influencer chain, or is it still just the standing orders to oppose trump?

This is bad faith asking. You aren't even hiding the trolling anymore.

Not intended to be. I view it more as coloured by a cynical expectation of the situation, that much I'll admit to, but I'm willing to be proved wrong, or hear takes that might reframe it. I dont pretend I'll be easily convinced, but I'll take a seemingly earnest answer with the same energy.

I haven't heard anything about it. America seriously needs term limits on Congress.

Re: Term limits

[thewakokid]

At every conceivable level of government.

And everywhere else, too, if I'm honest.

Oh for sure. I mention Congress as a priority because their job is to legislate, and they don't do it, so everything messy ends up getting an EO or getting sent to the SCOTUS. Literally all most Congress people care about is getting reelected so they can keep lining their pockets.

Term limits for supreme court are a must, as well as congress. Age limits too. No one over 75.

Re: Term limits

[thewakokid]

Supreme court, congress, every SINGLE position in every government at every single level.

And I don't know if there's a real justification for an age limit, but I'm down. And frankly 75 seems generous, I could go 70 at the outside. Hell, 65 might fit better. And the same age limit on president. Mandatory retirement. And if we're talking pure fantasy with no actual justification beyond my wishlist, I say wegive them a reasonable pension but a lifetime ban on working AFTER retiring. No cushy psudojob with a lobby group after leaving office.

IN FACT, if I was writing this shit from the ground up - I would make being a public servant like being an old world monk. It should come with A lifetime vow of poverty. breaking said vow should come with a capital punishment.

But that's just me being an anti-government extremist. The term limit would do tho.

Agreed that money as a motive needs to be removed from politics. No one should be making big money while holding office or after holding office with a cushy lobby group job.

Politicians and judges should also not be allowed to accept money from big donors, foreign agents and lobbyists and there need to be limits on how much they can accept from any donor.

They also shouldn't be allowed to accept gifts of any kind whatsoever from anyone. It used to be a "norm" not to accept gifts from rich donors but now we see supreme court judges and the president accepting expensive gifts and favors from everyone all the time. We have to have LAWS to prevent this, not just norms, and we need a way to enforce those laws.

I fucking WISH my country had term limits.

Presidents have term limits because FDR ran 4 times and at the time when FDR ran there was no limit on presidency terms. Everyone did 2 terms because of George Washington set that as a precedent. more here: https://constitutioncenter.org/the-constitution/amendments/amendment-xxii
