Do any of these people really have a job to lose? What they really have are positions of influence, which is more lucrative than a job.

In normal politics these people should be voted out regularly because they need to make tough decisions for the country that will always be unpopular with many voters.

That is not what we have here any longer.

Both parties are beholding to wealthy donors. That is what makes the ‘job’ so attractive and desirable. Term limits would help eliminate our billion dollar elections. The biggest argument against term limits is that we would lose some institutional knowledge about how our government operates, but we seem to be at the point where we want to tear it all down anyway, and are more interested in keeping our parties in power.

Bi-partisanship does not exist in MAGA.
