The counter-point is that these elected officials are able to write the laws that make it harder to get them out of office, by moving "troublesome" voters out of their district, making it harder for opponents to qualify for the ballot, making their fundraising advantage, whatever. That's totally legal because they're the same guys writing the laws.
There is not that much redistricting, but yes it happens. Still, I want to decide who I send to office. Term limits means someone outside my district tells me who I can vote for.
