Democrats are part of the problem. The solution isn't to vote democrat or republican, it is to vote for people that care.
Term limits would go a long way to solving that problem.
At worst, the Democratic party will make all the right speeches but ultimately do nothing.
In contrast, the Republican party stole medical supplies from blue states[0] during the acute phase of the pandemic and chose to minimize the federal response to SARS-CoV-2 because the pandemic was only killing Democrats[1]. Depriving your political opponents of medical supplies during a pandemic is arguably a crime against humanity.
Neither of these choices are particularly good, but one choice is far worse than the other.
Getting rid of First Past the Post with something like Star Voting (https://www.starvoting.us) would go much further without imposing arbitrary limits.
Do you have a suggestion for who to vote for who “cares”?
And as my sibling comment mentioned, eliminating first past the post would, in my opinion, be a gigantic improvement. If you’re in Massachusetts, please vote Yes on 2 this election so we can have ranked choice voting statewide.
I would agree that "people who care" are a good thing; However, I dont agree term limits achieve that.
Better than term limits would be an informed electorate who would vote for a new person once the old one stopped caring or being effective. I think limits are a poor bandaid.
