    midterms are easy to explain to kids, you just gotta tell them about bicarmel parliments first.

    Why are there two houses? …

    well… shit

        I mean yes, but usually it doesn’t make much sense to have two elections for two separate houses both made up of career politicians in the same parties.

        There are historical and/or practical reasons when countries have bicarmel parliments, but some of them feel quite outdated and bizarre in modern contexts
