Might be weird to Americans, but other countries like Canada actually limit their campaigns to 3 months total. I find it odd that you guys’ politicians have a relatively major election every 2 years and essentially don’t take a break from campaigning that entire time.
Yeah, that’s not useful in this analysis because the opponent has been campaigning for far longer. So while 3 months is a good campaigning time, it’s not better than 12 months.
And of course we campaign year round because of money.
What analysis? This comment chain isn’t even about the text of the article. I’m not saying one is better than another, it’s just a fact that other countries have shorter campaigns. 3 months is also not worse than 12 months so I’m not sure what your point is.
A long campaign isn’t an inherent feature of democracy, it’s just what the current American reality is. That doesn’t matter to this particular election, but I’m pointing out that the way y’all do it isn’t the only way in case there are people who genuinely don’t know that.
