bad news for us, the next election cycle starts immediately after this one, it will never stop sad-boi

Seriously, it seems like their election campaigning goes on for years. I dunno how the yanks don't just get fed up with it.

We do get fed up with it, but with the electoral college luckily only a small portion of us get hit with the worst of it.

Unluckily with the electoral college most of us get hit with the other worst of it AKA a Conservative candidate being competitive because the land gets to vote

I think they do which is how they've ended up with this.

It's insane to me that politicians just tour around like popstars and you read things like: kamala raised another 250milion dollars to go on tour i guess, getting a job in america seems expensive, and when your country is doing so well, i guess it's okay to just waste money on politicians. And in the end it doesn't even matter, because they vote for the white old man anyway.

I dunno, if Mr. Drumpf follows through on his promises, you'd need to stick half the government in the bin before another election even happened.

That man has never followed through on a promise in his life.

I would be willing to bet he has followed through on numerous occasions.
But not on promises.
