I think when a woman becomes president in USA it will be a world changing moment. Just like when Obama became president as a black man, Harris can change the world as a woman, AND as a woman of colour. These are very exciting times, when America is on the brink of such change. In the EU we have had women leaders for some time, nationally and at the top of the EU itself. We look forward to USA joining this revolution.

#Election2024 #politics #uselection #change #womenofhistory #womenofmastodon Italia didn't get the correct memo. Likely France is on the same path to elect as first woman an extrem right leader, which is not the change we are looking for.

But yes, clearly, Harris elected on that point of time and space will be extremely significant

@fanf42 @RuthMalan when I last looked they were both women. Women (unfortunately for most of us) are not by default left wing.

@DrPen @RuthMalan yes, my point is that it's as silly to elect the leader of leopards eating faces party because it's a woman than having only men everywhere as leaders.

And that by luck, Harris is both a woman and the obvious gate against fascism for that election, and so yes, the symbol would be doubly important

@fanf42 @RuthMalan of course it would be foolish to elect on gender alone - but we would never even consider that a possibility if were we talking about guys. Unfortunately for us, all political shades of women are the target of a lot of online and real life harassment and attack. Women are fearful to even enter politics because of it. Just look at todays America ad about Harris/C word. Words fail.
