Here's everything you and don't scroll. This is very important information if trying to vote. The midterms? Midterms equals House and Senate seats. Essentially re-electing whoever the house and what's the house? The house and Senate equals who makes our laws. Gets to make to the president. Laws take several put into place. So if someone Congress passes a bill, gets enough votes, goes to president who can approve or deny. To the president. Say yes or no. No, Congress can override that veto. And then they, well, we all care what you. That's called checks. But that's not important right now. People are saying vote blue specifically is because right now the majority of Congress is Republican. A Republican? The president. Who else is a Republican? The president. Has been moving right now. Congress RN equals we have to stay loyal to the president. About policy, they're caring about loyalty to the party. Since they're both. This subsequently means that they're laws that align with the president. If Congress is 90% Republican, a law saying we're gonna raise taxes on the poor, and say 218 representatives are Republican, as well as 51 out of the 100 senators are also Republican. Strong chance that votes gonna get passed. So like I said earlier, the house in the moving like, well, we're just gonna to the Republican party. Really care what everybody else says. Acting, basically. So when you, you get the chance to actually to Democrat. So with this upcoming midterm election, 435 seats in the House, 35 seats in the Senate, both up for re-elections. Total of 470 seats being up. All house seats at 435, and then 35, 100 senator seats. So when you, you basically get you want in the Senate, people who make the laws. Now, remember how they can override a president saying, say hypothetically, and this is a say hypothetically that both the House and were both re-elected to Democrat. This basically means bypassing that party loyalty that the Republicans have. It can actually cause remember, they only needed 2/3 vote to override the president's veto. With the majority of Congress being Democrat, get past that. We're saying it's vote blue. Vote blueeeee 💙 I do not like Democrats. Actually make a change. You see how this administration is moving? People cannot afford food. We see how families are getting separated. We're in a war that nobody wanted. We're seeing skyrocketing housing costs. These things that be changed Republicans stay in Congress. So, again, registered to vote. If you don't my page. I'm not old enough. I can do guys to vote. Voting. Peace.
