    The United States has some of the longest election cycles, maybe in the world, but definitely among western liberal democracies.

    So yes, the literal act itself takes a day. But everything surrounding that day is taken up by planning for the next election, enough robs people of other kinds of political engagement, by being such a massive time and energy sink.

      It’s your choice whether you want to campaign for a candidate.
