No really. Change my mind. Memes welcome. All serious debate comments (whether for/against) will be upvoted.

and again, Libs cant meme or take a joke, was just a question and you could have ran with "Hell no" or "I would rather die than trump", etc,etc..

I handed you a perfect setup

And again, I'm not a liberal. Just because I disagree with you etc. etc. etc....

Your joke would've worked if I had not included the comment below. I'm not here to high five you and circle jerk. If you can't handle a serious discussion like an adult, there are other streams where you can get your jollies from.

LOL, You meme like a lib

Enoch?

Nah, I rather be myself than someone else. But I get it. People think points matter...

Dr. Strangelove: But why tho??

Sorry, just read through comments to the end. Again, my apologies.

I have to say though - But really, how's this votiee thingy been really working out fo us in getting some a these fossils outta office exactly? I know you this - voter turnout AND voter suppression (no matter the party) has been a teeny little bit of an issue in this country of America, to one to degree or another - for like EVER.

It doesn’t solve the problem though.

Despite those obstacles, it’s best to keep that responsibility on our shoulders. We must stay involved in our communities, staying informed on our representatives, their stances, and their actions. We have an obligation as citizens to make sure our local governments does right by us and that we all keep congress in check.

Make sure every year your voter registration is up to date. Make sure your IDs are renewed before fall when it’s time to vote.

And vote!

And even after that, keep voicing your concerns, even if the person you wanted for that position got it. Even if you’re the minority and people talk shit about you or your stance. Because you matter too. Maybe you’ll change their minds. Maybe they’ll change yours. We can do it. Together.

Term limits is just more bureaucratic red tape that harms good representatives than it punishes those with no genuine interest in their constituents and communities. My opinion, of course. I’m sure the amount of good politicians, if you’ll forgive the oxymoron, are few and far between. But, call me an optimist, I think there are still some decent representatives out there. And if you’re so cynical to not trust the guys coming in versus the guys you think are too comfortable, then you need to rethink whose the one whose really hurting voter turn out. Is it the stale same-ole politicians or the ones with new ideas that want to change the system?

Not all change is good? Of course. But you get to decide that. Not some list of rules and regulations meant to make it easier on you and even worse, on them.

A time limit doesn't stop a crook.

It just means they gotta get in and get out faster.

And that’s not better than the alternative.

I appreciate you reading the comments.

Thanks for posting!

You're so welcome - and I do get what you're saying. Just wanted to say that right now and chat more about it shortly 😊

To elaborate...

One of the few political ideas that seem to remain staunchly bipartisan in this age of political schism is the call for term limits in congress. It is my understanding that the primary reason for these limits is that too often a public votes incumbent leaving many Senators and Representatives, as they argue, lifelong members. It is said that this leads to stagnation, corruption, or at the very least poor representation of current issues.

However, I do not understand the need to include term limits to congressional seats when we have a way to effectively eliminate a lifelong politician from their seat in congress. Namely, our ability to vote. While the incumbent phenomena is indeed a problem, that is not the fault of the politicians no matter their individual faults, if any.

It seems to me that, in this day and age, political tribalism is on the rise and people would stop voting for the incumbent individual but instead vote for the incumbent party member. Not only that, but it also seems that it wouldn't do anything to stymie the issues that term limits claim to solve.

I'm not arguing that a President shouldn't have term limits. Because we have an electoral college, the amount of power, and responsibility to that particular office; I understand the need for term limits there.
I'm only arguing against congressional term limits.
