Hey guys I have a quick question: what do you guys think about term limits for members of Congress?
Get rid of them
Congress I mean
Heh
Anyways I think they should probably be longer
longer?
what's the point of maker the terms longer?
IDK
I was asked if I would support term limits for members of Congress, and I didn't have an opinion so I thought I would see what you guys thought to inform my decision.
Longer terms means they can plan for longer and worry less about reelection
Term limits are a band aid solution for the bureaucracy inherent to Democratic/Representative Governing models
So no term limits?
Imperial senate time?
Having a set limit on how long a politician reigns in general isn't a great idea, I'd much prefer that we give the people the means to remove any delegate from power at any time, so the threat of being removed motivates them to do a good job
In short there shouldn't be a set limit on how short or long a delegate's reign lasts, other than how well they preform
A good leader should reign for as long as he can deliver, and a bad ruler should be tarred and feather the moment they screw up. This one size fits all approach is completely asinine
Oh I didn't mention I'm filling out an official survey. How should I rate President Trump's performance?
Excellent, good, Fair, poor, other ___?
I was thinking of just going with good.
write in your own answer if you're conflicted
@Foxen (The Centurion) i don't want congress doing anything so i support term limits
it ok they wont listen anyways
One of the problems with the incentives of Congressmen in general are that they are essentially child kings that are largely incapable of ruling without many corrupt advisors
Theyβre also incentivized to loot other regions and bring back pork for their constituents
Term limits ensure that they canβt understand the game too well (Mitch McConnell) so they donβt do too much damage
However, theyβre less capable of creating good, long-term policy
@clossington i'm still waiting for the nojoo policy
How about a term limit of 0 days
And abolishing term limits of the presidency
Making presidency a lifelong thing
And also making it hereditary
and then what if the king dies and the successor is a psychopath?
Rarely ever happens
Bruh, that is the most basic bitch anti-monarchy statment
And if it does those tend to be put into a regency
Or dethroned
Nobody, even in a monarchy, rules alone
Only the mad and "great kings" get in the history books. Most of them were neither
And how good has democracy prevented mad leaders from rising to the top?
Also now we have knowledge of genetics and royals can avoid having as many bad apples in their families by better selecting who they marry
The understanding should be that there can't be a compromise in the quality of royalty
