I don't see Durbin as one of the pressing problems. Term limits are the issue.
Yeah, I wouldn’t say he’s a pressing problem, but he’s also not part of any active solutions or any meaningful movements so it’s time for him to go.
I totally agree that term limits would solve many of these issues.
Boomers fucking know that once they age out, things go totally different. Let people who can't afford housing run the country, and we will see significant change.
They will never let that happen. There are more than enough rich kid millennials to fill congress a hundred times over.
We have to do this through shows of popular support, because apart from the few genuinely good people that manage to overcome the system to get elected, congresspersons are never going to as a whole be reflective of the average American.
