"First time since 2020" - so, like 1 election? This isn't hardly news, let alone uplifting news. This just seems like an absolutely pointless article.

Before these two women only one woman was ever elected and that was in 2016, none were elected in 2020 (which is what they mean by "since 2020"). It's news because only 3 women have ever been elected.

Then that's just the worst headline ever.

The uplifting part is that this is happening regularly now when it didn't before.

It fits. We don't have to be so quick to poo poo things.

But the headline makes it sound like it did happen before. In the last election. So that's not uplifting because it's basically saying nothing new happened.
