Even considering the current political climate, and the low turnout, what are the possible implications of a wave of female minority leadership in congress (and in the judicial sphere)?
What a loaded question...Listen, it matters to those who are affected by laws/policies put forth by the government. For example, Kamala Harris, as AG of California, was a supporter of both the BLM Movement and Dreamers. She's now a U.S. Senator, granted the make-up of the senate is majority Republican (46-D/ 51-R, 2-I), but it's a narrow margin...
In addition, there were tremendous gains in the judicial sphere...9 Black women were elected Justices in Jefferson County, Alabama alone. That has tremendous implications within the legal community (how cases are resolved). Politics is not only national, in fact it's really the opposite...
Too bad Congress has very little socioeconomic diversity.
Actually, I agree with you...And I say that as a member of a Black bourgeois family. A lack of socioeconomic diversity in government is the reason so many Americans (irregardless of race) feel divorced from the process.

They are mostly puppets of the donor class taking their marching orders from their financial overlords. Thats what matters.
