    There’s a big gap between “congress for life” and “term limits”, and that gap mostly consists of “winning re-election”.

      Winning reelection in America is more about who you know than appealing to voters. The Party protects its incumbents.

      What are you gonna do? Vote for the other Party? 😂

        Also, since they need to be re-elected they spend most of their time dialing for dollars and less time actually legislating.
