minus-squarecynarlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12arrow-down3·15 hours agoTerm limits just push things to the unelected “advisors” and aids. An age limit would be a better option. I would push for 90% of life expectancy, which is 71 in the US. If you’re over that age, you can’t run again.
minus-squareOni_eyes@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up14·14 hours agoI’d set it at the retirement age. Nobody over 65. Go spend time with your families ffs.

minus-squaresel@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·12 hours agoNo, no, it is 65 for our government if they want, everyone else is 100.
