      There's this very strident little nook within academia out of which people will emerge to tell you that single-term limits for all elected offices (never mind that it won't happen) will lead to total lobbyist capture (never mind that this has already happened).

      I think single-term limits would lead to greater randomness and more useful "to heck w/ this, I'm doing it" as opposed to perma-campaigning. Also, choosing politicians by random draw, as with juries, would also be preferable to the hiring of "professionals"

      Their "institutionalized revolution party" figured out how to work that system for almost a century

      el preeeeeee! Used to go to TJ regularly for work and election time was always a hoot. Every dude running for office had a mustache and cowboy hat and every chick an extra from Amor Salvaje.

      They looked great tbh and no one had any illusions about the stakes. The raw sewage was gonna keep overflowing and closing down the beach every few months no matter what

      I grew up with a version of that. You voted for the same rust belt Democrat over and over, because, as my stepdad would say, "who the hell else you gonna vote for?" It worked as well as anything else, but with less fuss
