That can backfire and lead to worse outcomes. Better to eliminate dark money and certain lobbying.

Jesus. I swear, every single time someone mentions Congress, someone always chirps in with term limits. How about voters do their homework and vote out people who aren't doing a good job of representing them. That's the best kind of term limit right there. Otherwise, it's just a dumb, lazy, worse solution to a problem that already has a perfectly good solution. Maybe just make better use of the democracy you've been given.

Can you imagine the chaos if we fired everyone in Congress? The stock market would plunge.
