标题:The superpower glass ceiling

Failure to elect a female leader is not a uniquely American problem

正文：The autopsy results have been flooding in. Democrats’ hopes of retaining the US presidency perished, so the diagnosis goes, because of what the party failed to do, and because of what it chose to do. It failed to detach itself sufficiently from a fading incumbent, and to hammer home a cogent message on the economy and migration. Simultaneously, it is claimed, Kamala Harris and her advisers relied too easily on the foundational importance of class, race, and gender. Yet these identities proved unstable supports, gender most of all.
