      This sounds great and all but governance is a skill and if we keep removing people who have expertise in it we end up with a country run by amateurs.https://twitter.com/Phil_Lewis_/status/1312603396231360513 …

      I used to agree heartily with you, but then I had a state senator whom I loathed, a far right wing nutjob who evolved into an antivaxxer and 5G conspiracy theorist, and I was so glad that he was term limited in 2018 and couldn't run again for his seat. So now I'm torn on this.

          Well what we don’t want are people who end up in permanent seats. I get the motivation. You never want them to feel “safe” so they go emeritus and turn into crackpots. But, term limits eliminate expertise. You want a rep who is on powerful committees, and knows the ropes.

          Ranked choice voting and top 4 candidates move from primary to main election would allow us to move away from extremes.

          Term limits can mean a lot of things, like not more than 20 years or something. People in power do not get more virtuous with time

          And elections mean that every 2 to 6 years we have a chance to kick them to the curb.

          Ppl who voted for a nutcase will vote for another nutcase. Ending gerrymandering & introducing instant run-off voting for primary & general elections wd make them more competitive & thus less likely that a seat would be held by the same for as long, without eliminating experience

          Problem is right wing media and GOP. Impose all the term limit kinda stuff, but the problems will remain, and potentially worsen Until the brainwashing agitprop cottage industry is dismantled, nothing will make a dent

          I think overall Michigan is definitely overall still an excellent example of the folly of term limits
