I think there are some good arguments for not having term limits in congress. One of the most convincing is a new congressman is more likely to be manipulated through ignorance versus the entrenched interest of an older one.
We need AGE limits. 80 year olds can't do anything more than consult in the government. If the DNC loves 80 year old dinosaurs so much, they can pay them to consult younger congress people. I value the wisdom of pelosi but i need youthful vigor of AOC. AOC has like the right amout of experience to be effective in government, we wouldnt want to Term limit AOC before her time to shine ya know?
I agree with both age and term limits. My comment was meant to illustrate the hypocrisy in people complaining about the lack of efficacy of a system that they don’t even use.
Yea there's a lot of that going on in here. Mind boggling how so many people can criticize a government they are willfully ignorant of. The people most desperate to exercise their political will can't seem to manage to figure out how. I'm trying to help them. we need that kind of passion.
I’m with you there. I’ve been doing that since the 90s. Most of my friends are Gen-Xers. Wanna talk about a frustrating group to engage?🙄
Yea im that age as well where big brother and friends are young GenX knuckle heads. Gen Z is REALLY hard to communicate with. the women are super intelligent and articulate and the boys leave a lot to be desired in intellectual conversation. The younger they are the more this stand out. I'm hoping gen A is based.
GenX has had a really disappointing political evolution. The punk rock boys i looked up to are extinct.
Agreed. A piece of me died when they closed CBGB’s. It seems like the grunge apathy stuck around far too long too.
We need more music for the revolution. The revolution needs some culture.
Not sure how you feel about protest folk, but this dude Jesse Welles absolutely kills it.

hahahaha i have a buddy that does odd folky stuff, i can dig anything if its got heart. I will check it out after the filibuster.
That it does. Check out the acoustic videos of him in the woods/grass before the concert stuff.
Booker is killing it! I’m so proud of him. I really hope this sparks some unity in the Senate.
Im feeling more motivated to action. I hope people are watching and feeling the same. It's been cathartic hearing him scream what i want to scream.
Great! Hope to see you out in the protests! Are you going out on Saturday? Should be one in your state capital if you can’t make it to DC.
Saturday state capital! I think I will put a picture of the gallows on a sign. You know the ones from Jan 6.
it's so hard to know what's legal to day but at least we know its okay to build gallows and chant about hanging the sitting VP. Might even storm that capital and shit on a MAGA legislators desk. You know since thats legal. I'm only covering legal freedom of speech, don't want to do to much non-violent protest since it's been deemed illegal.
Can’t be dragged down by that western weakness “empathy.” Haha
Good stuff. Have fun and stay safe out there!
Yea if you hear someone rabidly cheering guillotine the couch fucker thats me.
