i don’t understand why we are sending my tax dollars to ukraine when there are homeless in USA

But the entire reason that this is true is because of a disengaged voter base, right? Like if you’re voting for someone because you recognize their name, and not because of their record we’re not paying attention. We need to take responsibility for voting, and realize that any representative can be voted out, and those who are against our interests must be voted out.

I don’t think any senators are incentivized to do good work just because they have to leave after a set period, they would still be incentivized by the donations they receive from corporations, and in this case may even have an opposite effect, of more daring corruption in a shorter period of time, knowing they have a shorter period to line their pockets, and that a new person can take the blame for their deeds.

Good representatives already engage with the locals, hold town halls, speak to voters, go door to door. Bad representatives still will not do this, because they are paid by corporations, and exclusively legislate in their favor. They don’t care about what the public wants, unless it is a culture issue they can twist into the terrible legislation they wanted to pass anyway.

Just my opinion of course, but I don’t see shorter terms leading to less corruption in any meaningful way.
