You make a good point. How can we hold politicians accountable? Perhaps we could vote to shorten terms.

- zhemao 13y agoI don't think shorter terms would work. Obama backpedaling on all his initial campaign promises didn't prevent him from getting re-elected. Representatives in the House only have 2 year terms but the highest incumbency rates. I think the main issue is the two-party system. It puts people into this "lesser of two evils" mentality which, surprise, results in some form of evil always persisting.
