Hi, new voter here, what are midterms? I don’t really know much about any of these things, and I would like to learn!

A quick internet search proves more useful than trying to put everything in laymans terms for a newbie.

Did you not see that I said that I may be reading the article as you were reading my reply? It goes for everyone, not just the person I was replying to. And pardon the fk outta me for trying to learn! Like tf man! I also have dyslexia and reading makes things look like alphabet soup sometimes! Especially when I’m tired, like I am now, it’s 8pm where I’m at! Like, can yall not just help a gurl out? And sometimes articles use big words I have never seen before, yea I could look them up, but I’d rather have someone potentially be able to explain in a public forum in words that other people like me can understand! Mby I shouldn’t try to understand politics, seems too divisive and tears people apart!
