She's very online so I assumed the next paragraph would make it clear her "five term" pledge was a joke. But there's nothing. I don't know which is worse. One, she's serious. Two, she's joking and she assumes the average normie will somehow clearly understand that.
what we need is a mechanism to quickly remove people in power. not dumb ass arbitrary term limits.
1st thing I do with browsing candidate is see if they have a foreign policy because that is the crux of the military industrial complex that fucks the world and all of us. To see if they understand that and will temper it.
Oh look a "humane foreign policy" cool cool.....Palestinian American cool cool....that yerns for 
USAID 
plays into Russiagate and Cold War fanataics and uses pro Israel "release of the hostages" only ceasefire language. Nothing of the 1967 borders. Nothing of a Palestinian state.
More Trump Derrangement syndrome. AKA safe for Empire and doesn't understand Trump as a symptom of a broken systemic issue - even though she understands Sauids and pissraeli abuse of our weapons, but not Slava 
abuse of our weapons because 
makes it all worth it.
Then the donate button Act Blue 
They’re too predictable. Radlibs think her foreign policy is great without even checking it because she’s Palestinian. She has the exact same foreign policy as the woman she’s trying to unseat lol
Lmao Lincoln did that and kept his word, then won the presidency.
Ah. Now I get why it's five. It's what Lincoln did for the People.
I think Lincoln only did 2 terms.
I also support a conversation about term limits for members of Congress. Specifically, I like to talk about how everyone who doesn't get free medical care, housing, and education should get to term no more than three members of Congress every quarter until the situation improves.
Help me understand the problem with this.
I'm a bit more lib than most of hexbear but I'm going to take a crack at this.
Having this as a policy advertisement is a representation of the liberal disdain for authoritarianism and power that causes them to sacrifice even their own, and thus a red flag sign of a liberal. It's a sign of not wanting hypocrisy, which is good, but also a possible sign of a surrender of power in a world where we're still on the losing side to capitalists and conservatives. It seems more of a goal when the world order isn't dominated by capitalism and it's mindset.
Someone else feel free to correct me, but that's my guess on the problem with this.
Don't sell yourself short. I've been here since the beginning and everybody else is a huge lib too.
There’s this misunderstanding of old politicians who’ve been in Congress a long time holding corporate-friendly positions where the assumption is “they must hold these positions because they’re old and antiquated in their thinking, if we kept people from serving more than a handful of terms this wouldn’t happen.” The problem with this is that it’s the corporate lobbying and Congresscritter-to-lobbyist pipeline that keeps that ossified pro-corporate culture in DC, not the politicians being old.
So if Kat got into office and had decent politics, her stepping down after five terms and then a Gen Alpha 
taking the seat would not be a net positive. Plus, there is a system to the way Congress works and more senior politicians in party serve to educate the newer members on that system. Without that senior group, the only people in DC who will know that system are, the lobbyists. So it’ll just make the system more beholden to lobbyists.
"I support a national conversation about implementing term limits"
If that ain't the biggest ~~red~~ lib flag, I don't know what is. Maybe if she says she's going to send an angry letter asking Trump to stop deporting people after she's elected to Congress
I PLEDGE TO ONLY BE EMPEROR FOR 800 YEARS NO MORE NO LESS THIS I DECREE
and when 800 years is up, well.. what's another century or two amongst friends?
that's a pretty common wonk position, so i assume it's real. it's next to implementing a new voting system on the "this will surely fix it" bingo card.
Hasan’s radlib fans got pretty mad at me for calling her out on this lol
She’ll probably do better than Joshua4Congress but still come short of Cenk’s numbers
20 more years!
What if she 
in Congress after 5 terms? That'd be a little cool.
