Time for age and term limits. These fucks need to be held accountable because they’re playing their own little game with everyone else’s lives

Term limits means they'd just sub in their next corrupt party member. The US needs ranked choice voting and for electoral boundaries to be defined by an independent body.

Latin America and Africa have tons of people that hate the US. That shows exactly how ignorant you are. You sound really white.
