General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

The vast majority of congress and senators don't serve that long

 

[Grim]

I think Term Limits also make it much more difficult for politicians to garner corrupt bargains and to keep Congress clean.

 

[Grim]

That being said, we also need to ban PACs and political donations.

 

[Jacob Fox]

Term limits also give politicians to do whatever the hell they want in their final term because they don't have to keep their constinuency happy

 

[Chris]

I could be jaded from living in rural Texas with 20+ year racists getting 80% of the vote every election

That I agree with

 

[Grim]

I'm sure the Founding Fathers would be oh so happy to see wealthy businessmen flushing money into Congress just so they can fuck over the people more and more.

There are defnitely places where things like that happen, I agree. But it's not the majority by far

yes I agree this is a negative, I don't think it outweighs the negatives no term limits could create tho

 

[Jacob Fox]

The founding father would look at us and be like "WTF"

 

[Chris]

In fairness I say that about a lot of what they did too

 

[Grim]

The founding father would look at us and be like "WTF"

"You gave rights to N■■■■ and WOMEN!?"

 

[Chris]

But that's to be expected, it's hundreds of years

When Bush won the second time, he often made it seem like he would appoint judges who would uphold Roe V Wade.. he immediately did the opposite and said "Well. I'm pro life" He had nothing to lose in his second term

 

[Jacob Fox]

They expected things to be different
