Should the US Congressmen be subjected to new rules to ensure that they work to the will of the people rather than being a privileged old whites club?

Term limits have devastated Michigan's road and education system.

How so?

This makes perfect sense, so Congress definitely won't do it.

Love the facial expressions of the girl in the background.

Term limits needed IMO.

Far too reasonable a speech to be enacted upon.

Crooked Cruz was getting irritated and nervous as the speech went along.

This is my deal with term limits. If you're going to have term limits you're basically erasing potentially good relationships abroad with foreign politicians who still operate on long political careers. Thus giving them the advantage of taking advantage of our newly rotating legislators. Our most top powerful legislators operate outside the country often in the shadows with entities we don't hear about, that the president doesn't know about, or intelligence agencies even, unless working with intelligence. Afghan Charlie, John McCain, Oliver North, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, look inside the Trump administration over the past 3 + years. The Reagan administration among one of the most criminal up to Trump today.

My point in one respect is that if we were willing to set term limits we would essentially being opening up a common factor a vast majority of the population ignorantly holds us back from, and that's opening up our political system to a vast resource of new ideology within 3rd parties.

Term limits seem to me to be another distraction from the underlining problem. No one's holding the politicians accountable to the crimes and unethical actions they commit. And in the world according to William you can't achieve that without first ridding the system of the criminals which is going to require opening up that common factor of 3rd parties. Once you have a sense of a genuine government of the people for the people you eradicate the need for term limits and can continue to build better social relationships abroad.

In correlation to the numbers. You have practically the same numbers, higher actually, when it comes to favorability of all representatives. Yet they keep voting in the same criminals!?! You can't change the system if you keep voting within the same flawed system that's providing the same flawed characters. Replacing a dozen flawed criminals with another dozen flawed criminals at a time every 2 years isn't going to accomplish anything. Even if you manage to get a few good apples in the bunch the rotten one's spoil the good or silence them. We've been through at least 5 decades of great white hopes to only keep going towards a collapsed capitalist system today stretching out towards fascism.

Well he pretty much confirms my statements as he goes into candidate suppression benefiting the incumbents. But there you have the same issue I harp on here so often. That's the failure of the voters refusing to apply logical free thinking which would lead one towards seeking information to support a reasonable desire for change. Even when people like us provide more factual information towards that path they cling on to the conditioned MSCM that keeps them trapped in the establishment system.
