The article presents information on the political developments in the United States. In the U.S. politics, a new social culture is emerging. It is evident from the greater presence of women on Democratic ballots for high office. But the feminization of politics has yet not been achieved. Even if some women succeed in winning the U.S. Senate seats, that body will still be male-dominated. Two little and contradictory words dominated the Democrats' deliberations in New York: centrist and change twinned into a single oxymoronic message. On the one hand, there is the center, with its reassuring bow to stability, solidity, the status quo. And on the other hand, there is change, a word which is inconsistent with all that. The simple explanation of this contradiction is that exhortations to change are merely rhetorical and nothing has changed except the call for change. Its only a political tactic in a season marked by voter discontent.
