Term limits aren’t necessary. We don’t have term limits for anything else. If someone is doing a good job doing whatever that means they should keep doing their job. The instant they stop doing their job that’s when you replace them. Not just replace them every few years because someone else might be able to do that job just as good.
Your entire argument hinges on it just not being necessary, but you’ve never provided a reason beyond “well what if they’re doing a good job”? You’ve a great case for why we do need a variety of structures to check one person obtaining too much power, but you’re arguing against term limits because “what if one person happens to be really good at their job?”
You’re not engaging with the answer here, which has been repeatedly given (arguably by marx) but I’ll happily reiterate it in more plain language: “no one person is so good at their job that they should be unwilling to step down from power”. Nobody is so unique that an equally competent person cannot be found - but many people are so corrupt that they will remain in power as long as possible unless there are hard checks to prevent them from doing so.

Right that is the reason.

Those structures are still there. You haven’t given a reason why term limits are also one of those necessary structures.

But that’s the thing. He CAN step down. That’s what I’ve been saying. He got into his position from the assembly who voted him in. If he starts being shit at his job the same assembly that voted him in will vote him out.

You’re assuming that being in power is the problem when the problem is abusing power. Xi can’t do literally whatever they hell he wants. He can’t pass the “give me the power to do literally whatever I want” law and if he for whatever reason tried to be a dick he would be replaced.

Putin approves of your message.
