      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

        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.

        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.

            AOC is another corporate puppet. It’s shocking how tossing her on TikTok was all it took for Dems to sell her to Zoomers.

                  You’re the one making claims lol. I’m not going to waste my time arguing with someone paid to spread disinformation. Or maybe you volunteer. I’ve got not idea. Either way, since you made the claim, the burden of proof falls on you. We’ll wait.

                    The proof is in the pudding. What has she done about all this besides kneel and coordinate her outfit? Raise money for herself? Lol. The vote blu crowd is lost. You’re the reason we have Trump.

                  Because they have better things to do? You are the one making a claim without evidence, how is AOC a corporate puppet? You have to explain, not them.

                  Literally grassroots funded.

          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.

      I saw someone call for protesting on golf courses, might be even better.
