America is a republic and not a democracy. There are limits on power. The majority doesn't always rule.

Cliché is no substitute for thought.

careerism is undemocratic.  98-99% incumbent re-election rates are undemocratic.

Are you just going to assert that?

people are perfectly comfortable asserting "term limits are undemocratic" as a sort of truism when presented with this question, so, sure, I am.

That's because a term limit is major (and completely arbitrary) restriction on the choice of the electorate, so there's no need to go into any detail.
