...Meanwhile, term limits just turn more elected officials more rapidly into more lobbyists.

And term limits accidentally, massively over-empower residual Hill staffers – who aren’t elected and aren’t term limited.

All of which is demonstrably worse than what we have now.

To solve the problems – we must address the actual problems. Ending term limits doesn’t do that.

In the House – that means ending gerrymandering. For the Senate – we must repeal the Seventeenth Amendment.

That's not at all what the article says. It gives two methods to use that are more likely to pass than a Term Limit amendment; both of which can be implemented much faster.
