With the current political system would you agree that there needs to be a term limit for those in Congress?

What's been getting me irritated lately is a lot of these guys in Congress in there 60's to 80's being in Congress and I get you need to have some age old wisdom in these things but wouldn't you say that some of this old wisdom is dated and needs to be either thrown out or updated. I feel like we are being run by people who live in the past and aren't dealing with the issues in the here and now and are not focusing on what should matter

[Soteris]

That would make things sooo much worse. Corruption in USA has become systemic, that means that there is a virtually infinite number of corrupt individuals that can be brought up and put into power when needed. Forcing people down by term limits is just going to mean that the rare actually good politician (if you can call it that) will be quickly pushed out and replaced with more and more corrupted ones.

Nope. Younger people can run against the incumbent.

But here is the thing the younger opponents don't have the capital and or the resources like the older ones do

[BarryLiverstone]

Life isn’t fair. It’s on them to have leadership and gather the resources and team to get more votes. If they have better ideas they can replace others in office.

[icedragoom]

So you want to have people like Joe biden aka oldest president to date to be in office

[BarryLiverstone]

I want the best people to represent us. But I huge reason why it skews older is people our age are not voting as much as they should be: www.kff.org/.../

[icedragoom]

Yeah cause the people who they are putting there votes for are people that are in Congress already ones who are older then the crust of the earth

[BarryLiverstone]

You can vote for someone younger than biden : https://youtu.be/u8tCDTvrLxk

[icedragoom]

Every one is younger than Biden!

[BarryLiverstone]

Nope, Bernie Sanders is older and is running for potus

[gorydetails]

It is vastly overdue. I'd suggest two terms max.

[icedragoom]

I would say a max term of 8 years same as the president
