I agree there should be term limits also. It gets around the idea of ageism. I also think term limits should be on every single position, judge, senators, representatives, presidents, vps, everything.
I have loathed voting over the last decade, its like no one really wants to represent so we get stuck with whatever is left. What we need is someone who can ignite passion and compassion as to our way of life. I was also a Bernie fan back a few years, but you know what happened.
I have been registered independent for a while now, I just don't buy into either party any more. Its kind of hard to considering they wont even hear each other out. When you want for everything, you usually end up with nothing...and here we are.
For a guy "who hardly seems to know where he is half the time," this has been one of the most active legislative four years in recent memory - and most of it has been bipartisan. Do you even remember what state this country was in four years ago? I know it feels like forever, but it literally felt like the world was ending. Then when we came out of the pandemic, it seemed like people were just insane and there would never be a return to anything approaching "normal." Yeah, we have challenges, but while I un-enthusiastically filled in the circle next to his name in 2020, in 2024 I will be happy to do so. He's earned it as far as I'm concerned. But he does need to make the case for how he is going to continue to IMPROVE things in the next four years. And for god's sake, something needs to be done about housing nationwide. That's the big one. But what's clear is one party is barely functioning due to a huge chunk of its members being beholden to a chaos agent, and the other is working to make people's lives better.

Sad commentary on the hold the "two" parties have, that out of 330MM people, these are the two that the system puts forth.
I suspect many people feel like you do.
Why else would an earnest but flaky candidate like RFK Jr (who is getting the cold shoulder from the press) be polling in the teens?
