At least until the 2024 election cycle starts even earlier than this one.
I've been hearing people talk about the importance of 2022 mid term voting literally for months already
Yes! We will show Mr. Trump we don't approve of World War 3 by voting Democrat in 2 years. That will show him.
Starting the electoral cycle earlier and earlier is absolutely intentional.
If we had a 2-month election season, it would get stale in our minds and everyone would get bored with having no connection to politics for 3.8 years, enough so that they'd start to think about how they could make an effect outside of elections.
Extending the span of campaigns is not just a capitalist grift, it's a way of warding off direct action and keeping people more fixated on something they have no control over.
Hm... I don't think we can discount the role that money plays. Politics has become a massive industry, from the news networks, to the staffers, to the campaigns themselves.
The are a number of reasons that we have perma-election season in the US, but money/capitalism has to be pretty high up on the list.

I wrote that part because I thought it was obvious.
Yes, focusing energy and money to the anticipation of electoralism is also a way to divert energy and money away from other things, and to obscure the nature of politics.
I can't believe this election started a year ago, but nothing actually mattered until like March.
It started in December 2018 when Elizabeth Warren declared her candidacy, signaling that she stands for the perpetuation of the spectacle and nothing of substance.
I've received an insane amount of political calls and texts that I can't wait to be over.
They will say they did it without us. I don't look forward to that. They blamed us for Hillary's loss when all the Bernie people I know grudgingly voted for her. If there ever is a dictatorship of the proletariat, I think we can reeducate the chuds, but the neolibs get the wall, especially the Twitter neolibs.
absolutely hilarious to think that we could reeducate the chuds, people who will spitefully kill themselves as long as it makes the world more racist
the American right is the most reactionary in modern history outside of peak-era Nazi Germany
Seeing as many of their ancestors were socialist, I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility. I guess you're extent of history ends at 1950? Low education individuals with nothing but Fox news to hear their destitution. If you can't win over those individuals with populist ideologies you should give up now.
What are you even talking about? The libs had plenty of socialist ancestors too, but politics doesn't run in the blood.
Edit: I'm really struggling to figure this out. What did you mean by "chuds"? Suddenly it seems like you're talking about... poor rural white people? I don't know. If so, where did that come from? Do you think that group is synonymous with chuds? Most right wing maniacs in America don't fit into that social class, they're petty bourgeois or straight up bourgeois. Those people are so reactionary because of their class interest, and they're the last ones we should waste our political energy on when they constantly fantasize about murdering us. Like, honestly, what do you mean?
but politics doesn’t run in the blood.
P [olitics] is stored in the balls.
We may be talking about differing groups tbh. I think you mean Beautiful Boater chuds, I mean low educated, rural chuds. Not the all chuds are created equal, but the boater contingent I'll agree wouldn't be reeducated very well. Imo neither would PMC libs.
Low educated white rural voters overwhelming have gone Trump.
Depending on who wins, you will hear them say that you should have voted for the next a hundred years.
if biden wins theyll use it as justification to move further right and bash more on the left
if trump wins theyll use it as justification to move further right and bash more on the left
Here on Liberal Mountain we've had mail-in voting for a long-ass time. We all know how it works, literally nothing changed for the vast majority of us due to Roni. Yet, every single site, even the state government is acting like it's such a big deal; fucking leave me alone you goons, not my fault the rest of this country makes voting as difficult as possible.
Seriously! This is the only reason I'm looking forward to 8pm tonight.
Cause we're on an island, if Biden wins, we also won't be brigaded by insufferable shitlibs.
