I don't think anybody actually wants our elections to be perpetual. I imagine it'd be easy to fix, except for the fact that longer elections cost more and this means the richest have more sway. I bet they'd resist.

Honestly, if it wasn't one of the most powerful and influential countries of the world, it would be helluva entertainment. I'd invest in popcorn stocks.

On the other hand, if it wasn't one of the most powerful and influential countries in the world nobody would care.

Time to stop handing control of society to rich people who lack experience of being a normal human being.

I think the parties and the companies that own them want the elections to be perpetual, to keep us distracted and fighting each other. It also gives the companies a lot more time to ~~bribe~~ donate to candidates.
