2026 Midterm Elections
Tuesday, November 3, 2026
25 DAYS
If you are eligible to vote in the upcoming US midterm elections, please actually do so rather than sitting them out. People who have the right to vote, don’t like Trump, but then don’t bother to actually vote are a major reason for Trump being in office right now. Younger members of the electorate in particular generally do not vote. The elderly, on the other hand, very reliably vote.

Turnout in 2024 was, by US standards, high. But…there is still a very substantial chunk of the electorate that does not bother to vote.
The midterms will (probably, unless likely investigations turn up something sufficiently damning to get Republican votes for removal from office) not remove Trump from office prior to the end of his term. But they will trigger investigations and limit his power in various ways, like restricting his ability to fairly-freely replace cabinet members.

If only there was some way to get people in office that actually cared about lower income people… Maybe even filtering out the less considerate ones in some form of, idk, firstary election or something, just spitballing here of course…
…ughh…

Highly-educated voters also don’t like Trump and do very strongly turn up to vote, but they are a comparatively-small group (particularly in older generations), so they don’t, on their lonesome, have the clout to move the needle much. They need other people to also be getting ballots in as well.
