And Americans only have to pick one out of two opposing parties. How hard can it be?
The problem is two-fold. The majority of Americans are passively informed, and the majority of our news publications are compromised by wealthy owners.
Also, it’s two months, not three. Early voting ballots go out in the end of September.
This is true in the vast majority of European countries too. If anything, you usually find an exception in a public broadcasting channel, which may or may not be influenced by political officials.
The US has NPR and access to foreign news services, they are just absolutely disgustingly lazy.
You have way more faith in NPR these days than I do. If you haven't noticed the massive decline in quality of journalistic integrity there I don't know what to tell you.
