No. We don't. Term limits are anti-democratic, flush out lawmakers with the most experience and bipartisan relationships, increase the incentive for ex-lawmakers to become lobbyists, and hand more (not less) power to the leaders of the parties.https://twitter.com/gstuedler/status/991281119357227008 …

I agreed with this, but I must admit that my current state senator (
@pjcolbeck) who is now running for governor (@ColbeckforGov) sorely tested my opposition to term limits. I must admit that I'm glad he's term-limited and soon will no longer be my senator. https://on.freep.com/2qXLhtO1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

We can all usually think of one politician we sorely wish was term-limited. That one politician is Mitch McConnell. But intellectually, I know it would do way more harm than good.

I'm not disagreeing. I was just pointing out how easy it is to be seduced into supporting term limits. In Michigan they actually just empowered lobbyists and led to politicians running for different offices after term limits kick them out of office.
