In the US it’s pretty much a full year and it’s fucking awful. We start seeing political ads for an election in November in the first couple months of the year, thought hey don’t really start pouring it on heavily until late spring/early summer. I really wish we’d just limit that shit to the calendar month of November.
A big problem is that it is on a schedule that can be planned around. Also, because of elected party primaries, which doesn’t seem to be a thing in other countries, the schedule gets stretched out even further.
Fair enough, though in this case it feels like it’s not making assumptions, but showing unawareness of the one-way nature of American controlled media.
That’s fair. I imagine very few Americans pay much attention to foreign news. Personally I try to regularly check places like BBC, Al Jazeera, etc, but I know I’m an outlier there.

More like continuous and never ending. It is fucking exhausting.
Honestly as an outside observer, like the 2nd month into the US election memes I was like “it hasn’t happened yet??” Hah :3

Lol you don’t need to explain how long the US election cycle lasts. The rest of the world is aware.
I don’t make assumptions like that, I just answer the question.
