Useless. Time for the Social Democrats to form their own party.

        I don’t understand what this comment means. The alternative is to… let them serve until they’re 80-90 years old? We need younger politicians who are personally invested in the future of this country and the planet. And term limits. We need them both.

          You’re advocating a reset without a change to the underlying system. Expecting a different outcome is insanity.

                Don’t be coy, people are pushing for change and all you have to say in response is that the fundamental systems are still in place.

                No shit, but your revolution won’t come from sitting around and waiting for it to start.

                  So that was what I’m advocating, sitting around and waiting? I’d have to ask you again to copy/paste that bit…

                  You do realize It’s not binary, right?, It’s not a choice between voting for democrats or sitting around waiting.

            Did I say I didn’t want to change the system? But it’s literally impossible to do if we let these old, entrenched politicians stay in power.

        Yea, an actually democratic system needs to be implemented first! And we would solve that too via that step, very few democrats would survive if an actual choice were to be given to the people!
