      the midterms are effectively a response to the Presidential party and with very few exceptions the opposition party tends to gain power

      it's flip flopping seats to give the impression things are happening

        We get to watch our government progressively ratchet to the right every midterm. Republicans ransack social programs, deregulate, try to take away abortions, dismantle healthcare, and lower taxes. Then Dems get in and don't do anything to fix the mess because some kayfabe, "we can't do anything too radical, or we might lose our position!" Then Republicans take back over. Rinse and repeat.
