Oh you sweet, summer child. After the election ends, we're going to have at least a month of coordinated all-out fighting from the fascists to stop the votes from being certified -- if Georgia's and Arizona's popular vote results get accurately reflected in the final EC tally it'll be a minor miracle -- and years of "stop the steal" election denial and stochastic terrorism after that.
And that's the best-case scenario.
The US election cycle is continuous. Someone will win in November, there’ll likely be some bullshit to keep it in the news until inauguration day, then give a week before the party that lost starts the process of finding their pick to contest the next election.
From a foreign perspective it’s tedious as fuck. Our elections are called and wrapped up within 8 weeks, and even that feels too long.
Your comment makes me wonder if 1930s Europeans thought German politics were similarly tedious.
