    True democracy would be filling at least one branch of government with randomly selected citizens. Career politicians are psychopaths and don’t represent us.

      It’s funny and sad at the same time that career politicians are allowed to exist because they tend to be the ones voting for their own restrictions and benefits.

      Term restrictions? Fuck that

      Increase our own salary even though we haven’t passed any new laws actually helping society? Let’s goo

        More like reasonable term limits.

        Two terms for each position seems reasonable so you can be asked to continue or asked to leave. This allows you to run on a policy, implement it and then fix it or things that need to be tweaked and then get out.
