Term limits don't matter when the politicians are in the pockets of billionaire donors. (Pick your preferred boogeyman Thiel or Soros). In fact, they can make things worse as now a Representative needs to ensure he or she has their lobbying job lined up for when they can longer run for re-election.

That just means a bunch of newbies dependent on deep-pocketed support for their first campaigns, and it'd be one of the few scenarios in which we punish job experience.

I don’t understand why people think term limits will work. Now you just have a revolving door of people that are in the pockets of special interest groups.

I’ve never seen a convincing argument for term limits and I don’t think they should exist. If you have a good representative they should be able to stay in that job for as long as the electorate wants. Your qualms are with other parts of the election process like first past the post and inability to recall reps when they’re no longer doing their job well.
