Most voters will likely agree that the current election cycle is Peter North Jenna Jameson - Priceless (1995)way too long, but Sheryl Crow is trying to actually do something about that.
SEE ALSO: How to watch the third — and final — presidential debateWhile we've become accustomed to the current cycle that lasts well over a year and each party's candidate is determined before the conventions, that wasn't always the case. Before the primary system was instituted in the early 20th century, the cycle was only a few months long, the candidates often unknown until balloting at conventions.
And even once the primary cycle was implemented, election seasons were still mercifully short. For instance, John F. Kennedy announced his candidacy for the 1960 election in January of that year and in 1968, Richard Nixon announced his candidacy on Feb. 1.
By contrast, in the 2008 cycle, Barack Obama announced his candidacy in early February 2007, and during the 2016 cycle Ted Cruz announced his bid for the GOP in March 2015 and Hillary Clinton announced her candidacy in April 2015.
And while this election has certainly been anything but ordinary, even a boring election cycle can lead to heavy fatigue over the course of 18-plus months.
So, yeah, Crow has a point.

So, Crow has taken to Change.org with a petition asking both major political parties to get their acts together and shorten this whole thing up next time.
The American people have been extremely disrespected in this campaign season with the ugliness that pits us against each other and with nonsense and fear-mongering. It is time this comes to an end and that we demand better for ourselves.
We cannot sustain another lengthy slugfest like what we have witnessed for the past two years and ask both the DNC and RNC to reform the process and shorten our election season.
As of publication of this story, the petition has already accrued nearly 17,500 signees. Crow has also garnered support from some fellow musical and celebrity friends.

Given that posturing for the next presidential election can begin as soon as or before the current one is over (speculation about Ted Cruz's 2020 run began over the summer), the chances of either party adhering to Crow's plea are low.
