There’s this misunderstanding of old politicians who’ve been in Congress a long time holding corporate-friendly positions where the assumption is “they must hold these positions because they’re old and antiquated in their thinking, if we kept people from serving more than a handful of terms this wouldn’t happen.” The problem with this is that it’s the corporate lobbying and Congresscritter-to-lobbyist pipeline that keeps that ossified pro-corporate culture in DC, not the politicians being old.

So if Kat got into office and had decent politics, her stepping down after five terms and then a Gen Alpha taking the seat would not be a net positive. Plus, there is a system to the way Congress works and more senior politicians in party serve to educate the newer members on that system. Without that senior group, the only people in DC who will know that system are, the lobbyists. So it’ll just make the system more beholden to lobbyists.

I’m a bit more lib than most of hexbear but I’m going to take a crack at this.

Having this as a policy advertisement is a representation of the liberal disdain for authoritarianism and power that causes them to sacrifice even their own, and thus a red flag sign of a liberal. It’s a sign of not wanting hypocrisy, which is good, but also a possible sign of a surrender of power in a world where we’re still on the losing side to capitalists and conservatives. It seems more of a goal when the world order isn’t dominated by capitalism and it’s mindset.

Someone else feel free to correct me, but that’s my guess on the problem with this.
