Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

You have a moronic take. I understand the federal government's inner workings better than Trump and I've served 0 terms as president.
So Bernie shouldn't be a politician anymore?
Probably a fair trade to remove half the mummies in congress and get younger more progressive people in there. Bernie is getting on in years, we should be supporting potential replacements regardless.
elon is arguing for term limits
Ok, and?
term limits give even more policy setting power to elon, a guy who is rich but not elected
That's not really true, Elon's "position" already doesn't have a term limit. Even if he supports it doesn't automatically make it bad for us or good for him, you need to support your argument.
Term limits don't stop the seat from voting, it just makes the seat more likely to promote change and new ideas and perspectives. It actively helps remove the oldest members of congress. There will always be a senate or congress seat, the term limit is for the person sitting in it.
As someone else mentioned it will make them more corruptable because elected officials will always have to be looking for the next thing for them. Better not piss off industry if you want that cushy corporate job after you're done! Oh next year I'm jobless, better get what I can now! Not that the current system is perfect but it will make lobbyists and oligarchs more powerfull, not less.
That doesn't sound any different from currently?
Lobbyists and Oligarchs already offer post-term positions to congressmen.
In fact they'd just have to pay more than they do now because instead of one guy for 16 years of service its something like 4 guys for 4 years of service each.
