[@ZackfromNoHo]

Roseanne was on the ballot in only a few states. She got the majority of her votes (around 40K) in California, where she got the Peace and Freedom Party nomination. You probably didn't live in a state where she was on the ballot. Ms. Barr going from a left-wing splinter party to full Tr*mp supporter in less than ten years shows her flakiness in political views.

While they weren't states yet, both Wyoming and Utah actually did allow women to vote in 1872 when Victoria Woodhull ran for president. Wyoming gave women the right to vote in 1869, earning it's nickname "The Equality State," while Utah did it in 1870. Colorado and Idaho followed them up in 1893 and 1896 respectively, making up the only 4 states to give women the right to vote before the 1900 (the next was Washington in 1910). Wyoming actually delayed becoming a state because of it, as congress told them they'd have to stop letting women vote, to which the state legislature responded "We will remain out of the Union one hundred years rather than come in without the women"

FYI Here are some of the first elected female leaders of other independent countries: Sirimavo Bandaranaike, from Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) who served almost 18 years in total, starting in 1960 and finally stepped down in 2000 shortly before she died. Indira Gandhi, of India serving 16 years as PM from 1966 before being assassinated in 1984. Golda Meir, of Israel serving 5 years from 1969. Isabel Perón, wife of Argentine dictator Juan Perón, was President for over a year after his death until she was overthrown in a coup. Elisabeth Domitien, was the first African woman elected PM of the Central African Republic in 1975. Margret Thatcher, was the United Kingdom's first PM serving over 11 years from 1979 until 1990. Angela Merkel, of Germany was the longest ever elected female leader, as Chancellor of Germany for just over 16 years from 2005 until 2021. Sheikh Hasina, was the second Bangladeshi PM, being elected in 1996 then re-elected in 2009 is currently the oldest woman still leading a country. Finland is the country which has had the most female leaders, at 4. While women have been historically and internationally shunned from politics, if you look at the few that have been elected so far, their impact is (in my opinion) much larger than the many men that have been in those positions. Whether that's some of the ones I've already mentioned or women like Tsai Ing-Wen of Taiwan or Giorgia Meloni of Italy now.

22:24 Well you might be off by 4 years for this election. If Kamila Harris becomes the president I wish her the best and wish for her to lead us into a better tomorrow.

Who is your favorite woman who ran for president of the United States of America?

[@iammrbeat]

Probably Marianne Williamson

[@HistoryandHeadlines]

@@iammrbeat As far as I'm aware she's still running this time.

[@vwestlife]

You don't need to be 35 years old to run for president. You just need to be at least 35 to serve as president. So for example, Pete Buttigieg could've actually run in the 2016 election. If he won, he would've turned 35 the day before inauguration day.

When Woodrow Wilson was very sick his wife Edith Wilson ran the country.

[@NickHammer99]

Me and my mom love to watch Frontline together. It's Cool to see them sponsor you

[@iammrbeat]

I was so excited when they reached out!

[@MWB18]

It was a nice throwback seeing Cynthia McKinney's name.

[@rachelrodgers9171]

One lady not mentioned though she was listed as a 3rd party candidate is Jo Jorgensen who was on the 2020 Ballot.

[@freal]

He did mention her, he said that she is the woman with the second most votes ever.

[@rachelrodgers9171]

Okay.

It’s funny how it’s not been a year since this video released but it’s already outdated.

[@TheSilverScreenSurfer]

With all due respect to Geraldine Ferrero who was indeed the first woman to be the VP nominee of a major party she was not the first woman VP nominee, that was Charlotta Bass who was a journalist and civil rights activist who was the VP nominee for the Progressive Party in 1952. She was also the first black woman nominee. They got 140,000 votes. In 1928 Nellie Tayloe Ross, the former Wyoming Governor was nominated for VP at the Democratic convention and finished third on the first ballot with 33 votes. She was the first woman Governor of any state and still the only one from Wyoming. She later became the first woman director of the mint when FDR won and stayed there till she retired when the GOP finally won again in1953. She lived to be 101.

This made me realise how little restrictions there are for running for president. You could run before you could vote.

[@Cheez_Doodlezz]

My teacher plays your video in his class i have so much respect for him

[@Akyuz1000]

Imagine taking a drink every time you heard, ''Activist'' or ''Communist\Socialist''.

The cool part about inscription is you can overcome Leshie and get past him to get a special first run where he is genuinely surprised.

Hello mr.bean. One question: 1. What do you think about the war of the roses?

[@adamcook9641]

Love to see your take on women of the world who have become heads of state and government

[@MingWar_BalGlo]

Would love to get a breakdown like this but for class rather than gender. I know some presidents come from merge or modest backgrounds as well as more than a few that were more well off financially.

[@iammrbeat]

I kind of already did this with my video going over all the presidents' wealth. However, I like the idea of a video about poorest presidential candidates!

[@MingWar_BalGlo]

@@iammrbeat oh ok! Didn't realize that, lol gotta scroll down a little further then

[@beachboysandrew]

@@MingWar_BalGlo Resyndicated has a video about the presidents from the least wealthy backgrounds

[@flyyhighhr]

Frontline really is top tier content not gonna lie

[@rauldjvp3053]

Shirley Chisholm would’ve been an awesome president.

[@subparnaturedocumentary]

@22:31 is that hum stars? i'm not sure but it's kinda sad we haven't already had one.

Your prediction might come true this year mr beat
