Ugh, a 2 year campaign season is nuts. We are not pleased to see press and TV dominated by political ads and opinion pieces so long into the presidential election. Start the hoopla in February 2020 instead.

Because of 'freedom of speech', we have people and political parties in permanent campaign mode.

Perhaps there can be rules, even laws, that prohibit campaign seasons from lasting more than 5 months during election years.

And with that, anybody caught in 'campaign mode' after the election, can be fined or charged with a misdemeanor, and banned from running for office for period of 4 years. That would allow those elected to actually do govern without the petty politics that gets in the way. If somebody has a beef with a bill or a regulation, vote for or against it, and move on, and then worry about changing those in power in the next round of elections.
