    I don't understand why it has to last 10 fucking months when over here in this country it's called and over with in 6 weeks

      Money.

      It’s all for money. So much fundraising during election times. See if you say the election was stolen you can keep raising money after the election too for even more money. It’s great. It’s fine. Definitely no problem.

      I bet your country doesn't even have a couple months transition period between governments!

    No, they're gonna delay it a week before to keep the rest of the world on edge while our politicians just edge to it.

    My wife and I are going on an international vacation and will be in the air through election night and into the next day. It's on a Boeing, so assuming we don't crash it's going to be our own little sanity preservation chamber. Hoping that we can make it through the whole two weeks without even hearing about the results.

    You will not stop hearing about it after it ends because 1/6 of the country will believe the election was stolen regardless of the result.

      the light at the end of the tunnel is the hope that there'll be a second january 6th and even more ball tazerings will happen or, potentially even funnier, if there's a liberal blue maga january 6th

        The blue MAGA Jan 6 will just be brunch libs scheduling in advance and holding signs like “Stop being a big fat meanie-head, pretty please?”

        There will be a hundred fold military presence too.

        The blue MAGA Jan 6th would end up being a violent pogrom against visible minorities in areas that Harris didn’t win for not supporting her enough.

          Well, Zionists are already successfully getting minorities banned from social media for... not liking Israeli hummus.

    election season is every 2 years and most of my life it lasted for 4 years, but now that all the elections are stolen/challenged, it's more like 4.5 years with recalls reducing the season to like 1-1.5 years.

    it is an efficient and extravagant system for fundraising.

      We can push the Dems left after that election. It’s important to vote blue no matter what in ‘26 because Glorb Shitto is pushing for horrible policy. ‘28 is president year, and we gotta Vote Blue and never question.

      Maybe in 2030 if the Republicans aren’t trying to take away rights.. we might be able to slightly nudge the Dems left, but politely, and after informing them we we’ll still vote no matter what. agony

    Hahaha you think it's going to end after the election? Midterms are coming up in just a little over two years! Not to mention counting the votes!

    I’m sick and tired of it. The commercials are disgusting and annoying and I’m sick of hearing them when I just want to watch 80s Price Is Right
