    Seriously! 4 weeks of plenty of time

    I mean, we Americans are certainly well-known for our quick critical-thinking skills, our ability to be reasonable and of course our willingness to compromise for the greater good.

    Hell, the day before the election is just as good - especially if you don’t actually care about winning and/or enacting critical policies/legislation we need

      Exactly. Briton just had an entire election in 6 weeks!
      Imagine, only 6 weeks for an entire campaign ‘season’!
      Glorious

        Sorry, bro. I was being sarcastic. As much as I’d love what you’re putting down I absolutely do not think Americans are capable of anything like that

        Most Americans can barely read. That’s where we’re at, over here

        Then again, Britain is how many times smaller than the USA with how many times less electors and how many times less subdivisions in the country?

          India is roughly a billion people; The largest democracy in the world. I think they get it all done in 3 months. They also just had an election this year.

          The US is kinda unique, having years long presedental campaigns. It’s crazy, and complety, unnecessarily, excessive.

          There’s no reason for it, beyond driving donations for parties, and ratings for news networks.

          But it’s the insanity we have. The insanity we’ve gotten used to.
