So if your real problem is with money in politics, why not get money out of politics instead of targeting this weird, roundabout, more difficult to implement, and antidemocratic method that may not have any actual impact on the problem?


> weird

Term limits already exist for other positions. It is not a strange concept.

> roundabout

My problem is not with "money in politics", it is with career politicians.

> more difficult to implement

Forgive my laughter, setting a term limits is way easier than your abstract idealism of removing money from politics.

> antidemocratic

Everyone can still vote and is still emancipated. The America after the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution is no less a Representative Democracy than before.

I'm all for honest and open discussion but it is clear this is not one of them.
