Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

All that does is make a whole new generation of politicians become attached to their privileges.
I don't understand what this comment means. The alternative is to... let them serve until they're 80-90 years old? We need younger politicians who are personally invested in the future of this country and the planet. And term limits. We need them both.
You're advocating a reset without a change to the underlying system. Expecting a different outcome is insanity.
Meanwhile, you're advocating doing nothing
Am I? Please copy/paste that bit.
Don't be coy, people are pushing for change and all you have to say in response is that the fundamental systems are still in place.
No shit, but your revolution won't come from sitting around and waiting for it to start.
So that was what I'm advocating, sitting around and waiting? I'd have to ask you again to copy/paste that bit...
You do realize It's not binary, right?, It's not a choice between voting for democrats or sitting around waiting.
Did I say I didn't want to change the system? But it's literally impossible to do if we let these old, entrenched politicians stay in power.
Depend how the retirement goes politician of today have nothing to fear we need the cult of luigi to start the luigining
Yea, an actually democratic system needs to be implemented first! And we would solve that too via that step, very few democrats would survive if an actual choice were to be given to the people!
