yep

hell maybe i will stick around even if im in politics, if anything it'll be proof of being more a common man

but likely in a different positon

Could attract alot of people, those tired of "professional" politicians

yea

tbh if i get to a high enough office id like to propose an amendment that establishes Congressional term limits

thatll be hard as hell to get passed though

part of the reason i want new blood is because theyd be more willing to talk about it

Probably impossible!

Pensions and a stable carreer is not something that will be let go easily

yea

although most of them are already wealthy to begin with

cause of their businesses and such

Business, money and political influence...
Great combo!!

thats why when the vote to raise their pay i get pissed off

Ill give Trump this, at least he paid out of pocket, at least mostly, instead of using the damn PACs

I prefer either out of pocket or donnations

from voters

Which is what we did for the campaign i was on

Cortez did it too iirc

Problem is that without fame, fortune or previous influence/power it is close to imposible for new candidates to succeed

I dont agree with her policies but she did a good campaign

as it stands now yes, at least for the higher positions

Senates, Governors, and Pres.

House is easier

problem with house is that your individual terms are short

how long are they?

even if you have no limits to how many times you can be a rep your not in very long compared to the senate, etc.

"Members of the House of Representatives serve two-year terms and are considered for reelection every even year. Senators however, serve six-year terms and elections to the Senate are staggered over even years so that only about 1/3 of the Senate is up for reelection during any election."

only two years

should be longer imo so they can do more

Six year terms??

i had no idea

yea Senate is more prestigious so its longer

but 2 years for house fucks them over

makes no sense

thats why if term limits where implemented the House would get more terms while the Senate would still get longer ones to maintain prestige

this November we have Senate and House Elections

however not all Senators are up for election

In sweden the general elections are held every 4th year...
4 year terms, works quite ok

so some are just running elections for one incumbent
