Kamala & Tim showed all of us: campaigning CAN be accomplished in months - not years.

[Noel Kums]

The current system is beyond broken. The money is stupid and people begin campaigning & stumping seemingly months after they're elected.

Little gets accomplished outside of executive orders (thanks GWB for that insane precedent) - which are polarizing at best; democracy-defeating at worst.

The current House loves to grant themselves non-stop vacations of 4-6 weeks at a time while accomplishing absolutely nothing. Screaming "Weaponization!" and "Lawfare!" or any other inanity accomplishes nothing.

Give us 60-90 day 'campaigns' for all offices and term limits for everyone - judiciaries included. We aren't going anywhere as a nation by re-electing the same people with the same tired policies for 20-50yrs straight.

1. Except it wasn't accomplished successfully,

which is part of the exercise I am afraid.

2. I wish

that our "campaign season" were more like the Brits'---six weeks start to finish. Or maybe six months max, since we can't seem to accomplish anything in just 6 weeks! I mean, the next campaign season will probably start with people jockeying for position the day after the inauguration!

3. Great idea. Also limit

money spent.

4. "60-90 day campaigns and term limits for everyone"...

Excellent ideas!

5. Voters get the opportunity to impose term limits every time an incumbent stands for reelection.

And how do you enforce 60-90 day campaigns?

Will you arrest or fine folks for illegal campaigning?

6. It's the financing that's the problem.

Especially following Citizens United.

They're not doing nothing; they're either being lobbied by donors or courting them.

Imho, we need to undo Citizens United by whatever means necessary, put limits on campaign spending by or on behalf of candidates, and give all candidates a certain amount of free time and space online – it's super-cheap to do that now – and people can look at it all or not as they like.

And have meaningful debates among the top-polling candidates; but not just the top two (I'm not sure what the number should be, but I'd like more than two voices on stage.)
