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.
Passively informed is an understatement, also we’re supposed to be available to work at a moments call, with limited time off availability. Am I gonna just tell my boss I’m leaving early to go vote?

The US has NPR and access to foreign news services, they are just absolutely disgustingly lazy.

I mean… Yes???.. If it’s normal for a boss to chew you out for voting, then they’re being more transparent about voter suppression than I thought.
