Even if no term limits can't pass I would like to see mandatory retirement age.

She been there before and is clear-eyed on that.

Elected officials are supposed to be public servants. Not public grifters.

All these things but term limits. If we strengthen anti gerrymandering and voter suppression laws, voting is our best term limits. Let the people speak!

Yes, yes and yes!

True.Sad

You will need to get rid of lobbyists too if you impose term limits. Lobbyists will be writing the laws for clueless, inexperienced Congress members otherwise.

Fuck term limits. It’s a solution to our political problems only idiots support.

👍🏾

This is how Democrats should be and avoid the culture traps.

but, but, but, that's there business model

I’m not on favor of term limits, we want experts in how government runs. I could possibly get behind a term limit of 24 years, enough time to build some good institutional knowledge but not end up with someone who has lost their cognition. This doesnt stop stupidity(Tuberville) but thats on voters.

A part of the USA better get it together!

Yeah, like Susan Collins, 73, who promised to serve only two terms but is running for her fifth. If she lives to serve out her term, she'll be 79! Or Mitch McConnell, 84, who if he's actually not dead has served since dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Fucking medicaid

Chris am I correct, Mary doesn't have a Bluesky Account?

Thank you! We need more of You!

Bravo 👏 Alaska!!!

Term and age limits.

We have term limits, its called voting. Remove the money from elections, BS laws are not required.

Or allowing politicians to force their gods on a free nation.

👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏

Mary Petola the USA’s first female president 2032 !!!!!!

Congress should NOT get paid when they can’t agree on passing the budget.

Arrest and prosecute Alito and Thomas for taking bribes

“Ohio Dan” has been a rubber stamp for Trump and against Alaskans. Time to kick the carpetbagger out.

Sullivan is a koch brothers stooge. He's terrible and needs to go. I'm an Alaskan and Mary has my vote.

ALASKA? POLITICS? CORRUPT? I am truly aghast.

She has a Finnish surname so she has to be good.

I agree, except for term limits. Ask Michigan how term limits worked for them. If we get big money out, the people will have more say in who stays and who goes. If we didn't have Presidential term limits, I submit we wouldn't have Trump. Remember why we have them. FDR was too successful.

Term limits make the system worse though.

All democrats need to be talking.

Lol.

I just watched Ross Douthat’s @nytimes.com exit interview. In it he discusses religion being overtaken by nationalism on the right and the rise of DJT. Conservative Christian beliefs fostered toxic empathy which the progressive left took advantage of to foist woke insanity on us. No more of that.

November 3rd, 2026 Midterms! 💙💙💙

I’ll vote for that!

✊✊✊

It's the absurd money in politics that attracts the Crooks to get rich. The Two Major Political Parties are responsible for allowing the corruption on steroids.They have the Duopoly.

Me too

Seems logical to me.

The "tougher rules" are already there. In the constitution. What we need is LONG prison time for breaking these rules. Oh, and a mechanism to arrest the president, while he's president.

Oh yeah… END CITIZENS UNITED!! -Jail time for corrupt SCOTUS, Congress and President and cabinet, and associate funders/Oligarchs/christian nationalists, etc.

Consequences enforced via choice of public hanging or $100k for not obeying job description e.g. Trading stocks, accepting lobby money, paid election influence, crimes against USA, etc.

Just spit balling.

I'm aware the UK probably has similar issues, but in reality, you should have had that all tied up years back, the founding fathers, bless their innocence, would not believe the dirt you have running things right now, maybe make it the last time possible

Well...all of those things are pretty much in existence...in the Constitution...except for term limits...it won't be any good, though, if the rules are allowed to be ignored.. and so far, nobody has the balls or the will to change things...especially not Democrats... Join the Democratic Socialists.

That's exactly what too many politicians do...use politics as a get rich quick scheme.

Sounds reasonable to me.

Politics shouldn't be capitalism.

So well said!

We already have term limits. They’re called elections.

Anyone who supports term limits is a fool! Term limits creates corruption. It’s in their last term where people in power destroy democracy for their own personal gain!

Term limits are NOT democracy and won’t fix anything. To fix our corrupt system we need regular scheduled elections and remove corporate funding from the system. Overthrow of the Alito Roberts “Citizens United” ruling is essential. Regular elections for court justices makes them accountable!

They get free meals and travel on the taxpayer too.

So to simplify what she is saying, we need to rein in our leaders so they can start working for the people who elected them into their positions. I totally agree with all her points.

I agree

100%

Agree with term limits the two chucks

Yes!

Yep, and these issues should be some of the first tackled by the Democrats in January. I hope January doesn't turn into a subpoena-fest. We have plenty of time for that. First, we need to undo some of the damage and prevent future damage.

Younger gens (20s-50s) it's time you take the reins! I have high hopes for this young woman, Peltola. Maxwell Frost & other younger Dem gens in Florida, too.

And...either make Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Virginia Islands, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico legitimate states of the United States or stop occupying them and set them free.

She really is and she has a REAL shot at this thing. The lower 48 is sleeping on the fact that AK is purple.

👍

I see nothing about honoring the separation of church and state?

Rick Scott needs to be the poster boy for this reset.

That's what I want also!

I believe Mary will win!

We need a whole new government, a whole new system that actually protects the people of this nation from what is happening right here and now 

She needs to be cloned!

You’re obviously someone who doesn’t understand the arguments against. Far better to eliminate partisan gerrymandering, making districts much more open to a wider swath of the electorate. You’ll eliminate the fringe loons in the vast majority of districts and see greater turnover at elections.

Want term limits? Eliminate Senate and Congressional pensions. Make them work 50 weeks of the year in their offices or on the floor of the House and Senate.

Unbelievable that such a low bar of standards has to be campaigned for. What an ugly, corrupt place USA politics is.

I don't want term limits. I want limits on lying to constituents, corruption, & big money buying our reps. We need people who know govt. Look at Bernie? If not for him, and few others, fighting year after year for us, where would we be now? Limit actors and business people. They've been the problem.

Amen to that!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Mandatory public disclosure of tax returns.

Get rid of their pension and healthcare as well. They can have SS and Medicare. Maybe then they’ll strengthen those programs?

I’m opposed to term limits, but I like the rest of her demands.

Join the fight for ALASKA. 🤑I donated, and hope others join me. You don't have to live there to volunteer, they have opportunities to join there Digital Amplification Team. We could all do that no matter where we live! marypeltola.com

"...stronger campaign finance laws, restrictions on members of Congress trading stocks, and tougher rules to stop politicians from using public office to enrich themselves." Do that, and term limits won't be necessary. The grifters won't stick around.

I agree with everything she said.

Sullivan voted for the Big Beautiful Bill. So many Alaskans will suffer because of that bill.

And who cares about the WHOLE state. Not just the white areas.

On board for everything but term limits. It's a solution in search of a problem.

The criminals may be unwilling to give up that money and power

I really hope she wins. She is great. Term limits are pretty dumb, though.

End Citizens United and the Electoral College! Give back the single vote to the citizens not big money.

We will not have democracy until ALL PRIVATE MONEY is banned from electoral politics. Until then, it's just a show.

Amen. Term limits don't affect lobbyists. Term limits eliminate members of Congress' expertise in complex issues.

It's a good idea. Some states have a seriously dumbed-down, radicalized population who votes for these politicians because they go after the people the radicalized voters hate. These politicians are ENTRENCHED and there is no way to get them out. Term limits fix that. Especially for SCOTUS.

Anyone who was elected office can not go to work for the lobbyist when they leave office

I’m in Alaska right now and the political ads are fierce. Her opponents have resorted to mud slinging and it’s just ugly.

She makes sense. If we’ve got to make our government unattractive to those who would seek to profit personally from what SHOULD be public service.

They'd been doing this for years and interestingly it was when these mf'ers got greedy is when EVERYONE saw them for what they were. Before some knew but because it wasn't prevalent no one flinched. Bush though opened some eyes and Trump tripped the damn sirens. Stupidity at its finest.

She just made a whole shipload of EEEs. (Entitled Establishment Enemies)

Agreed! Some of them have been there for so long they are rotting in place. I think there needs to be time limits for EVERY government job. Especially the Supreme Court!

Now if she could just add on an end to genocide, I would consider that the perfect candidate!

And make knowingly lying a crime !!!

Here's what I want as law: No elected federal, state, or local official may accept any sort or form of enrichment from any source, other than their salary, while they are in office, and for 6 years thereafter from any source who benefited from any bill they voted on or administrated.

She wants to help average Americans and make sure everyone is treated fairly… obviously a communist according to the Magatards…🤪

My one disagreement is the term limits. We have this. It's call elections. The problem is the number of morons who vote for scum who screw them.
