given vested interests in party politics and the media—and all the money to be made selling chaos, mutual loathing, and emotional anger to citizens—nothing much is likely to change.

Same day primary on august 1st. Allows campaigns to plan and hire campaign staff. The Tuesday after Labor Day is the first day allowed to campaign and ends election night. That’d be perfect!
No, I sound like Trump. Without 365 days of unnecessary election BS from the “media”, his life would have been a hell of a lot easier. Look what just occurred. They took the dumbest politician on the planet from being a total moron to the smartest woman to have ever lived in less than 60 days. Four years of electioneering for President is BS and unneeded. Total BS.

*Wow, you sound just like harris and clinton.
Less free speech and more govt will solve the problem.*
Please be advised we need controls on the government so less free speech on our wannabe governors jus might be a good thing.
**A longer election does allow more discussions of the issues. Look how long it has taken for us to change things.**
60 days is plenty of time.
**That would be an unconstitutional limit on free speech.**
Correct. Would eliminating POTUS votes in primaries?
No, I sound like Trump.
Read my post again. You sound exactly like Harris and Clinton. They would support your position in a flash. It has worked so well in the United Kingdom hasn’t it?
Put your thinking cap on.
The current short cycle with Kamala entering late shows that a far left woke candidate can pretend to be moderate for 60-90 days. A longer cycle gives opportunity for exposure.
But a short cycle would be great with weekly 3-hour debates to expose the positions of the candidates.
so less free speech on our wannabe governors jus might be a good thing.
Less free speech for some. Pretty soon you are the”some”
Our MAGA history is a competition of ideas and free speech in the market place. You would limit this?
Communism, socialism, fascism, all have short election season. So, lets be like them.
As I said, sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between conservatives and liberals.
Voting-it should be done on a Saturday. Seniors, Veterans and the handicapped in wheelchairs would be given an 8-10 hour window to vote one day before. No earlier voting.
Please be advised we need controls on the government
Think about that!
We need more govt to control the govt. That will fix things.
How about less govt and more freedom as our founding fathers designed.
Lets compete on ideas instead of limiting ideas. Trump has been at this for long time and is making headway in changing the direction of our country. It has been long and costly for him but that is how it is done.
You great idea just shuts down the voices we need.
I haven't followed local trials for quite some. Back in the day it was unusual to have a criminal trial last more than a few days. A high profile case may have lasted a week or so. It was very unusual to have one last more than 2 weeks.
They didn't allow the current president to even take office.
It has been a long time since your well-being was the goal of politics.
We need to conduct our elections like they do in France with paper ballots cast on a single day, verification to vote with an official ID, no mail in ballots , no electronic voting and no direct electronic tabulation of initial votes.
I'm talking about your decision and mine being in our well-being - take as long as we can to good decision.

If France can do it so can we.
