And federal buildings in democratic areas… unfortunately status quo democrats aren’t going to be the champions of this - they will just use it to fund raise more
You mean the US representatives that won’t set term limits? The US representatives that won’t vote to outlaw insider trading? The US representatives who own businesses that benefit from their legislation? Those people? Just gotta be clear here. Because I’m feeling a little uncertain about their loyalties at the moment. At least towards their voters… To their donors, I’m rock solid on where they owe their fealty.
Term limits(for congress) aren’t an issue. It’s outright good to have a portion of reps with institutional knowledge on how to run a government, and extremely helpful in diplomacy with other countries as well.
Age limits are the real issue to push, because geriatric fucks being in charge is the real danger.
Everything else, I wholly and completely agree with you on
I would prefer a slightly incompetent but well meaning person to lead, than someone malicious and skilled. With the former, they will be willing to acknowledge their mistakes or what people want, while the latter would play shell games while pocketing the riches of the people.
Term and age limits are needed, so that evil people cannot build a nest made out of the government. What we lose in raw efficiency, we regain from a lack of corruption.
These protests need to start happening outside of these reps’ offices.
I saw someone call for protesting on golf courses, might be even better.

Reps need to be taking part in the protests. Preferably Korean-style.
God that photo goes hard on so many levels

Glad we have ol Gymboree Jordan and Louie Gomert there as bulwarks of diplomacy.

There were multiple US House Representatives as the protest in DC on Saturday. Several spoke on the stage and others were out in the crowd.
*houses
They just don’t go to their offices or close them or ban protests.
