It still sounds weird. Like how is it that in a country like the U.S. these parties can wait to choose who will be the leader of the fucking United States as far as only two months before an election? Like, should they not have planned that shit ahead of time? I know the U.S. is a shithole but it’s a shithole with a tonne of power and influence and that feels…wrong. A bit “fast and loose” with democracy, ya know?
I’m glad it meant the Dems could swap out Biden for someone with a pulse but fuck that’s weak.
I mean, the amount of time the US takes is an outlier. Most countries announce and have elections in a shorter time span than 2 months, and if it's a proportional government, sometimes you don't find out the leader until AFTER the election.
Things being worse don’t make that good, though. Whatever, I’m not going to change world politics over here but I still think it’s all kinda fucked.
A lot of people would consider that good...not worse. Like the UK has a cap on the amount of money and time that some campaigns can be. That allows candidates who aren't flooded with money to have more of a chance at actually being elected. It helps make the formation of a two party system run by the Koch brothers less likely...
Australia gives public funding to parties that can achieve a certain level of votes to encourage participation.
