I just think that (upper) age limits will quickly become rather myopic, and this may happen sooner than most people think.

I don’t think it should be a set number. I think it should be pegged to the average life expectancy in the US. That gives them an incentive to make policy that improves lifespan.

I also think term limits is usually a stalking horse for the far right for other matters

Even a broken clock can want the right thing for the wrong reasons twice a day. (I think that’s how the saying goes?)

and I don’t think those outside the far right should fall for it. I think term limits solves nothing

I think it makes politicians more expensive to bribe.

and I also think that robs people of incumbents that they love. If people keep choosing the same people to put into office, why the hell not?

In a functional democracy, sure! But an incumbent has a massive advantage over any challenger, and primarying them almost always fails; even for remarkably unpopular candidates. “Better the devil you know…”

I think if we solve the actual problems, age and term limits fall by the wayside as the red herring they are for several reasons.

Maybe. But I don’t know if those problems can stay solved.
