Interesting idea and I do agree that contiguous is OK but total is not.
replyI think I'd suggest a more generous Senate term limit. Three terms (18 years) would allow for someone to see out a complete Presidential super-cycle, for example.
The word Senate is etymologically related to "senior", it's a place where you _want_ people to be able to develop a lot of institutional experience.
Or incumbents have to win some larger percentage of the vote in order to win over time
replyThis is an interesting idea. Would be curious to hear from someone who thinks this is a bad idea (why).
replyedit: I see the "term limits are anti-democratic" takes elsewhere in the comments, so I guess let me narrow the above ask to "someone who isn't opposed to term limits, but thinks this idea is flawed."
