I've always been against term limits. It's a great populist talking point, but when you think about it, just takes more power away from the people to choose who they want to represent them.
No, it actually gives the people MORE power to choose because the elections wouldn't be dominated by corporate money.

The people never even hear about candidates unless the corporate media knows there just another bought and paid for puppet.
My future representative won the primary despite being outspent ten to one by his competitor who happened to be the wife of MSNBC's Chris Matthews.

God you are so naive. It's really annoying.
Answer this simple question: do term limits limit the choices that the people have in who represents them in congress? Yes or no.

Here's another fact to chew on: term limited politicians have no accountability to the electorate.

Congresssional term limits will help take the money out of congress because as of now we have lifelong politicians who are funded by and have been funded by the same corporations for the last several decades. Lifelong politicians sell out, do their masters' bidding and then are heavily funded during their re election, making it nearly impossible for an honest candidate to win.

False.
Term limited politicians have no accountability to the multinational corporations that fund our current life-long politicians.

How so? They will just do the biding of their future employer, since they will be needing a new job.

If you are going to support a constitutional amendment, why not support one that bans all money in politics except for individual donations? Instead you support one that doesn't solve anything and takes away choices from the people?

Why would any future employer be interested in a employing a politician who will be forced out of office in a few years anyway? After their term limit is up, what good are they to the employer? There is no perfect system but Trumps proposed system is 1000x better than our current corrupt system.

The latter half of the post is just absolutely false. I support such an amendment, but Trump hasn't proposed it. At least Trump has proposed something. Hillary is all about the status quo and expanding corruption.

When their term limit is up, then they just start lobbying congress. You're just creating more lobbyists
Why don't you trust the people to make their own choices?

ill say this again: term limits are fundamentally undemocratic. They take the choice of who represents them away from the people. You cannot counter the argument because it is objectively true.

That's fine. It is objectively true that they are indeed fundamentally undemocratic. That alone doesn't make it a good or bad thing though, and the democratic principle may not be the best option for the circumstance (at least not on the principle that it is democratic alone). I suppose you support people voting on every single issue as well? When you think about it, legislators are fundamentally undemocratic, because they take away the choice of the people in order to represent a portion of them.
Are you against presidential term limits too for the same reasons?

Except that Trump would ban them from lobbying for at least five years. At which point they'd be irrelevant
