I can tell you what I love.
None of it. It's a system.
So let's talk about what works. Or why term limits don't work.
You take away the choice of the people because a certain year, lawmakers decided to make term limits- people aren't smart enough to chose anymore- is what you're saying.
Term limits ******* the institutional knowledge. Why do you need it? Just look at the member that are 3 terms or less on each side. Unless they are extreme and unlikable, you can't name them. So you'll have even more yelping for attention more MTGs and AOCs.
Political Parties will be making the choice a lot more. I can explain later if you want but it will take more than two sentences.
A much better way to curb the recidivism in Congress, and the only way, is Campaign Finance Reform.
Limit budgets for campaigns. If you can legally limit how much they spend that leads to:
- less time fundraising while in office
- even races between candidates
- easy to keep up with who gives what.
For example, it should ten times the family poverty level threshold. So in Michigan that would be $350,000 for the House. and about $1 million for the senate.
Besides limiting what a candidate can spend, you have eliminate the PACs, and third party groups directly advertising for a candidate.
- more start up candidates get crushed by these PACs than anything else. Why? Because the devil you know...
I've run a couple of them and its a great way to tip the money scales for more ads, social media presence, mail,etc
Reverse Citizens United! Corporations are not people. Their employees max out in giving and then the business max out. Corporate dollars are the biggest evil in campaigns and elections.
Make it illegal. They can lobby the members of congress after they are in office. Let's see how much time they get when they are not financing the campaigns.
This will put candidates on an even ground. It's will cut down on the noise. And. give the people a chance to hear from the candidates. That will be better than any term limits.
