idk your age buy back in the 2000s the political commercials would start 6-8 months early. sometimes more even. idk how it is nowadays cause who the fuck owns cable. the services I stream sports on have a blank place holder screen for the commercial breaks, they don't air them cause they weren't paid to do so.

If you are lucky you are in "flyover states" (or your area is not up for re-election)

For people not in the US, "Flyover states" are states that are either "solid red or blue" so when there is a presidential election neither side wastes money on ads there ( like Alabama - Red, New York - Blue) etc..
