Starting to feel as if the argument that 4 month isn’t enough time for a party to effectively pull off a presidential campaign actually means 4 months isn’t enough time for the media to effectively sell a bullshit narrative that solidifies false equivalencies in the public mind.

@JuliusGoat no shit.
In Germany, campaign posters can be put up in the public space 2 months before the election, and have to be gone two weeks after the election.

Outside of those 10 weeks, there is no real campaigning going on in Germany, which is quite frankly a rather peaceful state of affairs.

@danielaKay @JuliusGoat
This sounds a lot healthier!

@Ginafla @JuliusGoat it is :-D

also, even though the tv channels have a duty to show the parties' ads, I usually see about half a dozen political ads per election :-)
