-Deep state bureaucrats already don't get elected.
-Deep state bureaucrats know they can just ignore the amateur politician until his term limit kicks in and the doofus is only just learning how to navigate the bureaucracy the bureaucrat lives in.
-Deep state bureaucrats know by the time any threat is in long enough to network a political movement against them, they'll be gone before they cannot anything with it.
It takes even more power away from voter.
-Most politicians suck. You gave up your ability to keep a politician you feel is doing a good job. If we ever get one we're happy with, there's a 99% chance they get kicked out and swapped with a loser when the term limit kicks in.
-You gave up your ability to threaten politicians by vowing to not vote for them. Term limits means they're gonna go whole hog every lame duck session, instead of trying to walk the tightrope hoping it's enough without realizing it's already too late.
You're shirking your civic responsibilities by further automating government.
-Horrible problems with the election process will be ignored. These are far more important issues to rectify than relying on the pseudo-solution of term limits.
-Instead of working hard to vote someone out, people will just sit around and wait. Civic participation goes down.
-It will breed complacency. Voters will be less inclined to take action against a politician they feel will be taken care of by an automated system. Only to have another loser take the last losers place.
There's a ton of problems with going with term limits instead of the million other problems we need to fix first. One of which is making the state governments select their Senators again instead of by popular vote. Don't bite onto the Term Limit Red Herring.
No. Term limits are a Deep State trap.
