Nancy Pelosi was caught on camera asking Israel protesters outside her home to “Go back to China” and claiming that was where their “headquarters” were located
We need to pass a constitutional amendment that sets the maximum age to hold public office (including judges) to 67 years old. You can do whatever you want past 67, but you can’t hold public office.
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.
I think this thread and the lack of people both fundamentally misunderstanding and failing to fact check the article indicates that young people can be plenty stupid.
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.

This article has a pretty good explanation of why term limits causes more problems than it solves.
I’d rather have a novice who has a chance of supporting something good than an old hand using their experience to enact genocide.
