      I like this, but I’d drop the special election in favor of disqualifying candidates who would age out during their term.

      One of the few issues where you can legit say “both parties are as bad as each other”.

      Half these people should be retired.

        Because it isn’t right vs left, it’s various flavors of have vs the have nots. Just half the have nots (probably more) are stupid as shit, according to the other half. Then we just bicker while they fucking fleece our dumbasses.

          Keep saying it. Everyone agrees and yet congress doesn’t enact it 🤔 I’m just glad the oligarchs understand the will of the people better than us rabble!

      Disaster happens, child mortality goes up a lot somehow, average life expectancy plummets below 25, no one is eligible for any Senate or House office 👀

        I think most of the issues in the world right now are caused by career politicians who’s only interested is getting re-elected.

        I disagree. Maybe if their grasp on power was tied to the average life expectancy in their continuency they might actually make an effort to improve it. Sure they’ll sue but, I think it’s worth trying.
