Correct - and term limits would make that situation much worse.

  If there are regular primaries, then how are “party leaders” selecting who’s in office? At most it’s through funding campaigns which already happens. Term limits are simply there to empower primaries. People who have already been elected have vast advantages in primaries which means they rarely face any real competition. Put another way winning 20 competitive elections in a row is never going to happen. Which means none of the local members of the party has had any say in who represents them in the election and the opposition party has also had no say for decades. That’s no more democratic than China’s “elections.”
