They act like it's still the 90s cause that's when half of them started their job in the government. They don't know how to function in this space

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
What are the arguments against term limits?
That they don't make a blind-ass bit of difference.
Idk probably some founding father shit piss
God damn I hope we primary these cowards
This gerrymandering antagonism is just cementing these seats for "moderate" dems. It's a real shit show.
The proverbial "house" needs to be cleaned out across the board
A few days later, a group of Indiana lawmakers who rejected the president’s push to redistrict the state lost their primaries, demonstrating Trump’s continuing hold over the Republican base
Shouldn't listen to anyone who doesn't understand that...
Those races were insanely close while being low turnout, and trump still didn't replace enough to change the vote on it
He's pissed off a bunch of old-school Republican voters who are tired of his shit, and they're likely to stay home.
Swapping out decades of experienced shit again who knew how to abuse the system for a couple of chucklefucks that blindly agree with trump will backfire in the general.
I habitually overestimate people, but this is as clear as day...
Journalists (at least, out of everyone) should be noticing that
The Democrats get the voters they advocate.
Soft Democrats get voters who are soft on Republicans. "I'm sure Trump won't be so bad this time."
Hard Democrats get voters who are ready to put the hurt on humanity's enemies. "I'm voting for a 24/7 live cam of Trump in a dark, cold cell."
A nursing home paid for by Medicare only.
It's not about voters. The party will protect those who bring in donations. It's the Capitalist prerogative. Democracy's limits end where Cpaitalism's profit motive starts. Self-interest is king.
Just look at how those donors stopped AOC and Omar and Mandami! Or how they saved Biden from those nasty 4% of primary voters who showed up to vote "not him, please."
The party can only do so much. It's the people voting that ultimately decide.
Gee golly maybe we should be gentle and take decades to primary them.
The US contains the weakest people on the planet.
The weakness is intentional.
Amen
Hey hey, ho ho, democrats who are soft on republicans have got to go.
