The rest of government has elections.  Not quite the same.
Term limits for judges are a good idea. 
Age limits for judges, members of Congress, and Presidents should also be considered.
But to reduce corruption in Congress, term limits are not the best choice.  Ranked choice voting and non partisan redistricting would have much better impacts.

POTUS has term limited, right? Isn't that an elected position?

Yeah I'm saying an age limit would also be a good idea for Presidents.  
If we got non partisan redistricting in all 50 states we could start to contemplate better ways to elect Presidents too.  Right now it is unthinkable to encourage 3rd party candidates to win electoral votes because no one likes the procedure in the US house that starts when no candidate has 270 electoral votes. We need to look at that, make becoming President more about finding compromises than about pissing off the "right" people.

They correct everybody.  Because they're women.

That's the demographic that usually makes or breaks each election. They also tend to have the White Savior complex more than anybody else.

I usually just kiss my wife when she starts running her mouth with corrections. It's like hitting the factory reset button. They think too emotionally.

Yes, Trump added the last part about not needing to vote in the future as a joke to everyone already voting for him but for the people he was talking to, it was him negotiating.

Mikesez likes to play games with words and context, so right now he is pretending to be literal and not understand context or the point of view of the receiver of the information.

He's not the first to say I have it.  My therapist and my psychiatrist both said it's likely, but they didn't recommend a test because I'm a functioning adult and knowing would change nothing.

Venezuela thought they could vote themselves out of communism. Last night the communist declared themselves winners and today they are charging the opponents with crimes.

Some of this is already happening here but this is a preview for the US if Trump doesn't win.

It's not a left-right issue.  In "the global south," the right wingers also undermine and destroy democracy just as readily as the left wingers.

This is the second or third election that the socialists in Venezuela have lost without giving up any power.

Na, it's a left issue.  Don't let anybody take that away from you, you little communist.

Prosecuting their opponent? Check

Trying to kill their opponent? Check

Build a huge lying campaign against their opponent that encompasses most of the media? Check

It is happening right now.

The one thing they haven't done is flat out ignore the results and announce themselves the winner.

2020 was them generating enough fake ballots and flipping votes to give them the results they wanted. Venezuela has done that before but this time they couldn't out cheat the vote.

Dominion was created for Venezuelan elections, so you know what it does.


I hope they don't do it here but I can see them rejecting the results and refusing to leave power.
