      I’d rather have a novice who has a chance of supporting something good than an old hand using their experience to enact genocide.

      What’s the other option? Let them stay for life?

      The issue isn’t lack of experience, it’s that never having to worry about losing the job makes them useless. Watch how fast they get shit done that directly affects them, it was never about lack of ability, the current politicians are just intentionally useless because they all benefit from the status remaining quo.

          The fuck it is, if 8 years is enough for the president it’s enough for Congress, Senators, and the SC Justices.

          If we can pass down the office of president every 8 years there’s no reason we can’t do the same elsewhere, does it take a decade to learn how to vote or something? Are we lacking in judges?

          There are other levels of office, there isn’t going to be a shortage of experience just because we require term limits. Even if there was I’d prefer an inexperienced person than someone who sits on their hands all day and just votes according to their oligarchical masters whims.

      Beats having the same imperialist ghouls for entire generations. ‘Experience’ means jack-shit when the aim of ‘career politicians’ is to stay on the gravy train by any means necessary.
