honestly you shouldnt even get involved with arguments on whether term limits are justified or not because theyre entirely irrellevent in the context of an unconstitutional coup and ultimately being made in bad faith as retroactive justification. dont play defense with liberals

i've come to the conclusion that term limits are bad because all they seem to do is provide shitlibs and fash with legalistic cover for mass murder and oppression

ya never go on the defensive or acknowledge their moronic and molecule-thin arguments, just ask them how many babies being roasted on a bayonet spit by militias in burned down villages their precious access to mineral wealthy is worth to them, personally. Then, ignore whatever imbecilic response they have and ask them another "question" that actually is just pointing out how they clap like seals for genocide if the right language is used

"No re-election" was a thing in at least Mexican politics, and in theory breaking up cults of personality and making it harder for individuals to accumulate power is good; but in practice its 100% a bullshit excuse to kick the pinkos out and sell off the country to American corps

I'd even add that in the current situation when the left wing is relatively weak its generally a hindrance to it, and even the problems with it aren't generally worse than being looted by Pinochet Jr

yeah Mexico basically did it because their president was a lovely dude that bowed down to American corps. the fact his successor ignored term limits and did the same thing kind of undermines it a bit tho

term limits are good because you have a constant churn of junior legislators who have to get up to speed, providing endless opportunities for lobbyists and think tanks to be the ones to get the new legislators up to speed on why helping people is bad and austerity is good.
