I'm just waiting for them to go unhinged and give up, cause actual mass unrest or kill themselves. I larp as a liberal at work and all my coworkers are convinced there will be a blue wave and even states like Tennessee will turn blue. Gonna be so good.

Can someone give quick rundown on US political system? What are the upcoming elections for? What are midterm elections?

>What are the upcoming elections for? What are midterm elections?
Midterm elections are elections that take place in the middle of the presidential term. It's for house as well as senate seats. It's not all of them since different states hold their elections at different times, but a lot of them take place in the midterm. To pass a law, it must be voted on by the house, and then by the senate, and then the president can either sign or veto.

>has "the bully pulpit", meaning a large national voice that can sway opinions
The US Congress passes the laws. The Congress was divided into 2 Houses.
The first is known as "the House of Representatives"
>elected every 2 years
>elections are based on district (which are apportioned by population, large states have many districts), 1 house member is elected per district
>There are 435 House members. There would be more, but a law was passed to limit it because it was getting too big
>They propose laws and vote on them, which are later approved by the Senate
The House of Representatives is supposed to be a rambunctious body that is directly connected to the People. They are the People's direct conduit into government, and thus are given all sorts of special significance, although each individual house member is less powerful than a Senator (since there's so many)
The other house is known as "the Senate"
>elected every 6 years
>Only 2 senators per state, no matter what the size or population of that state, 100 Senators total
>The Senate approves laws, and has different powers than the House. Although a senator is considered more powerful than a House of Reps member, the House of Reps is the more powerful body.
>Originally, the Senators were appointed by the State governments, this was changed in the Progressive era over 100 years ago.
The Senate was supposed to be like the United Kingdom's House of Lords, populated by refined elite types. Senators are much more well spoken and politically nuanced than a House member. They are also a far better candidate for the Presidency.
"Midterm elections" are elections held in the years that a presidential election is not happening. This happens for all House members and some Senators. There is a lower turnout

Having senate is awesome but without the house, does it even matter? If they just shoot down every bill right away the senate wont even get a chance to vote.
Christian Bennett
If ruth Ginsberg dies within the next 2 year's then whoever controls the senate gets to chose her replacement. Its worth it for that alone.
Anthony Anderson
It matters for the judiciary. States can put their own laws forwards and the judiciary can rule on their legality iirc.
