hey so i had a question that i dont trust anything to search for the answer to

2018-08-02 07:03:08 UTC  

*what* are these uh... "midterms" all about

2018-08-02 07:03:33 UTC  

Pretty much a mid year election. Not as big as the current election cycle.

2018-08-02 07:03:40 UTC  

Still has its uses and is still rather important.

2018-08-02 07:03:54 UTC  

i only started getting into politics like a year ago and i still don't really know anything about regular practices of the U.S. government.

2018-08-02 07:04:21 UTC  

You know enough about the electoral collage?

2018-08-02 07:04:31 UTC  

Or the difference between EC and Popular vote?

2018-08-02 07:04:42 UTC  

YOu know about gerry mandering, or how seats are allocated.

2018-08-02 07:04:52 UTC  

my memory is too terrible to remember anything i learned in high school, which was all that

2018-08-02 07:05:15 UTC  

Which Id say EC is the important part to know about how the election works

2018-08-02 07:05:23 UTC  

Vs popular vote.

2018-08-02 07:05:31 UTC

Political elections in the US are on a rotating schedule

2018-08-02 07:05:49 UTC

2018-08-02 07:05:58 UTC

>_>

2018-08-02 07:06:19 UTC  

hm

2018-08-02 07:06:22 UTC  

With certain members of the house and senate being up for relection

2018-08-02 07:06:43 UTC  

Midterm elections are important becuase they usually reflect how the public feels about the president's party

2018-08-02 07:06:50 UTC  

Or so states standard political theory

2018-08-02 07:07:14 UTC  

most of the time the presidents party loses some seats as people are pissed at him for one reason or another

2018-08-02 07:08:07 UTC  

The "Blue Wave" youve probably heard about is the democractic party campagining to get people involved for the midterm elections in 2018

2018-08-02 07:08:44 UTC
