As much as I (a 43 year old teacher) may shake my head at the tik-tok generation, we need their energy and idealism to renew our democratic institutions and approach society’s problems with fresh eyes and optimism. Term limits have never seemed more crucial to that renewal process than they do now. This much entrenched money and power just seems like fear of that change and renewal.
Don’t judge a generation by the popular app of the time. I’m not much younger than you and remember being called the Facebook generation, and now it’s swarmed with boomers. Plenty of 40 year olds use TikTok anyway.
You’re right, we need their energy and idealism more than ever because they are sticking to their ideals and see the writing on the wall.

I agree with term limits. Just a shame it would also mean less time served for people like AOC.
