The problem with this is that gerrymandering laws that are passed by those who got elected has made voting out incumbents nearly impossible.

The incumbents have rigged the game in their favor to make it virtually impossible to kick them out.

It’s actually a direct and blatant attempt to make and end run around the representative system. We do not have a real republic until the entire gerrymandering system is abolished.

My proposal is to have randomly drawn districts that changes every 2 years. That will more than anything ensure term limits.

Unfortunately this is very true. I believe this is a major reason why is it so difficult for an independent to get elected.
