And then one day you look in the mirror and you realize that you ain't you anymore. You're just another monster, and thanks to your actions, someone else will eventually become as warped and twisted as you. Never forget that the best of us are just the best of a bad lot. Being at the top of a pile of feces doesn't make you anything but shit like the rest. Never forget that.

Stellar Colonies wrote:This isn't surprising, considering there is still some momentum from when political office was very much still just a male gender role. However, things are gradually balancing out on their own, whether naturally as more emerging politicians happen to be female or by artificially promoting female politicians (the former being far better than the latter).
Also, just to everyone out there:
Please please please don't vote for a candidate just because they're female (or male), please just go for the man or woman who has the better policies. Voting just because a candidate is male or female is counterproductive, because that just supports male and female politicians with bad policies.
*The above only applies if you believe voting actually matters.

Do you guys not understand why it's good to have governments that are representative and in touch with the concerns of the public? What the fuck.

A study from the not for profit New American Leaders has found that of the 7883 state legislators in the US 81 percent are white and 71 are male. Black legislators make up just under 10% while Latinx politicians represent about a little more than 4% and Asian Pacific Islanders about 2%. Women are about 30 percent.
I would have thought after the 2018 elections it would be much lower than that. The results were quite surprising. As to why it’s so white male dominated I do not know. Perhaps some states prefer men or men are seen as more likely to be elected?
Some progress has been made though. A record number of women are running for state legislatures this year breaking 2018’s record. Hopefully state legislatures become more diverse after this year. Here in New York both our legislative chambers has the majority caucus lead by black woman
I would assume this isn’t just a US phenomenon. I would imagine it’s the case in other countries as well though I can’t speak for them without data. Your thoughts NSG on why this is the case?

What sort of ignorant ass shit is this? No one is suggesting this is anything approaching a conspiracy. White people and men hold power due to structural-historical reasons which have left them dominant culturally, politically and economically.The Reformed American Republic wrote:Then this is a non-issue. What matters is the policies they impose, not their race and genitals.
The policies they impose are shaped by their views, which are in turn shaped by their different experiences in life. Being a woman means you're going to have insight into the concerns of women; likewise for men, but they occupy the dominant position already.

Seeing as how wealth is almost always a necessity to actually be in government, I fail to see how their genitals or skin color would make them all that representative of the common people.

Having someone whose black in the legislature would know more about issues facing their demographic and community then someone whose white
