No, I think the best option for any state is to leave the Union. I may campaign for his opponent if he's an honest fellow though...

This is one of they more important points i guess, one you also mentioned in the vid. However being able to run again might also prevent politicians from making impopular but necessary decisions. This doesn't overrule your point. There are just more sides to the argument. As long as people are only a little selfish no system is going to be perfect. An ideal system would give selfish people an icentive to work for the general good. But since we're not all on the same page on what that is...

I doubt it. It would eliminate the people running for office who wish to use it for power and leave the ones in office that actually want to serve.

Term limits got rid of one crop of unpopular politicians, but did nothing to change the system that got us into trouble in the first place. The new crop turned out to be clones of the previous crop, just with more ineptitude.

I agree but that takes away from the real problem electing people who have the publics interest as a priority. And the publics responcibility to elect them.
If we do not get people engaged special interest will do as they please.

Absolutely, there are real measures we can take to open up the system, get more people involved, and return democracy to the people.

amazing video. I can't find a way to disagree with any of your points. Perhaps I'm biased though because I'm also non-affiliated with either of the two parties and hate the whole 5% deal with the Indepedent Party. That makes our political system so unfree and unrepresentative but yea, there are so many other systematic things to fix and just placing an end-all solution like term limits just does not help. Great vlog.
