I never really supported term limits as I naively felt that the ballot box was a built in term limiter of bad politicians and a rule limiting terms may only force out a good one.

Having grown up though, I realize that politicians are "forced" to be bad actors to keep their job.

The initial intent of our government was not to have career politicians... and this article just reinforces the need for term limits.

If you don't fear being primary-ed then maybe you'll do the right thing.

They'd be the ruling body... haven't you said that's who you listen to on these things snoofy?

God damn you're unhinged

#17 who said they couldn't... but they'd still be a biological dude and not a woman. They could call himself a trans woman, and I would refer to them way out of respect.

What's this fetish you people have with demanding respect without the chore of earning it?

there's a winning platform for the midterms...

maybe hand out buttons with "Earn my respect" on them

I'm sure the candidate behind that will do well at the polls.

Dems alienate voters by skewing too far left and insult those that don't agree with them.

Poll comes out saying more young people a supporting the R part.

Dems reaction, call them stupid and uneducated.

Sounds like a winning strategy.

both political parties fundamental mission has been to mask truth and facts and give us deception.

Something the left here will deny, and the right here will deny... because THEIR party doesn't do it only the OTHER evil party does it.

And the moderates just shake their heads in disbelief at both sides.

#17 have to love the things that will get blocked, or get you banned here.... but 17 seems to be okay?

#10 Your saying that we should be compelled to how we refer to ourselves... if I don't want my email sig to have my pronouns, why should I be forced to? That shows respect exactly how? Why do I need to be intimidated into an action to make someone else feel better?

Snooty, yes it's up to the governing bodies. And it's up to people to voice displeasure with this governing bodies if they want to influence change. I'm sure this doesn't go over your head.

Sounds as if you actually agree with the view that Trans-women don't belong in women's sports but you're to afraid to break ranks

Do you think this is a discussion here only because of you?

Donner says we are only allowed to comment on things directly affecting us, time to shut the site down.

"I'm not part of a far left echo chamber, everyone I know agrees with me!!!"

So to prove you're not in the minority on this issue, you bring up other issues? Solid defense, I have no counter for completely inane comments. Master strategy there.

Ah Snoofy simplistic thinking.

Yes I am disappointed Trump was elected, and would have been had Kamala won. Two terrible choices.

And to you point about who brings up what here. Firstly you don't seem to realize you are further to the left than the vast majority of the public, along with most everyone else on this site who agree with you. Anyone who isn't in lockstep with this group here are immediately deemed Trumpers. So yes, I'm sure that to you it seems that "Only Trumpers" yada yada....

But it's not only Trumpers, once you realize that you're in an echo chamber, and not everyone that doesn't see everything exactly like you do is a Trumper the left can start making some sense again.

#4 we don't agree on a lot, but you are spot on here.

#6 on the flip, telling people they HAVE to put them in is dumb too.

you really don't understand 80/20 do you?

When the left continually chooses to issues as litmus tests where 80+% of the population disagrees with you. You elect someone like Trump. But, keep on not getting it.

wow, it's really interesting to see the responses when ya got nothin'

Clown/Snoofy you have anything of actual merit to say? or are you just going to emulate the monkeys and keep throwing ---- at the wall?

#5 and if the left weren't so dogmatic about these issues, we wouldn't even have Trump. But the left can't help themselves with these 80/20 issues.

Telling people they can't put them in is dumb... and for most people putting them in is performative.

the inevitable pendulum swing/over reaction from the right to the over reaction of the left with covid... stupid.

And you people keep saying this isn't happening, but here we are watching two dudes play out the championship match while the women watch.

Was she referring to her career?

I was obviously making a play on the wording.

Obviously it's not murder people

You can have the 2nd amendment and not just go around murdering people
