Unless you’ve watched the video, I don’t want to argue about it.

This man makes the most cogent, compelling case for this that anyone ever has.

And I stand with him.

An federally elected position is a TERM OF SERVICE.

It should not be a CAREER.

You want a career in federal service? Join one of the many agencies that serve the people and serve.

You want to be a professional politician? Stay in state or local politics.

Agreed.

I agree. No one should be dying on ANY job from age-related illness. It's doubly irresponsible if that person is in a job where they can't be easily replaced.

We also shouldn't be looking for guidance from people who've been in Congress longer than the 24-hour news cycle has been a thing.

Look at this! It’s excellent material & he’s very well spoken.This is a platform for change. Needs to be condensed w/o omitting content.To be concise & built to be broken into sound bites. A campaign pro like James Carville may help here. Then give it back for this guy to deliver! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

I agree with the sentiment, but won't click through to an Instagram link.

Many people here have gone Meta-free.

I doubt we'll have any politicians left if we flat get rid of narcissists, but he makes some excellent points.

Airline pilots are required to retire at age 60. I'd like to see the same of our politicians.

Licensing people as representatives seems like a good idea. It should include a basic competency test and knowledge about the office and constituency.

And a lie detector test on illegal activity beliefs.
