[–] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 4 points 1 week ago (1 child) Without finance reform first, I think it will end up going the opposite direction honestly And once we do have finance reform, I think term limits are unnecessary permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] turtlesareneat@piefed.ca 5 points 1 week ago I agree with you. Career politicians are not inherently bad. In fact, they can be very good, when someone strategically works for an issue or constituency over a long period and can enact long-term change, much like having a CEO for a decade vs having a CEO for a quarter. The problem is the corruption, which is not solved by term limits. Term limits actually make it easier to capture candidates, makes them cheaper and more disposable. permalink fedilink source parent
