from the queue-eeoc-audit dept.

The Democratic National Committee is hiring IT people for these positions:

The Daily Wire, a conservative blog, posted an e-mail purportedly from Madeleine Leader, the DNC's Data Services Manager, showing her announcing the openings and writing

I personally would prefer that you not forward to cisgender straight while males, since they're already in the majority.

The Daily Wire blogger posted a different screenshot of the e-mail on Twitter.

Also at The Hill

    Neither Johnson nor Stein had any charisma to speak of.

    I was considering voting for Johnson, but in the end decided not to. It wasn't lack of charisma that turned me off. It was that he was so blitheringly pig-ignorant about any issues beyond marijuana legalization. "What's Aleppo?" Honestly, if you know less about foreign affairs than I do then you are just not fit to be Commander in Chief. Listen up, Libertarians! (And all you other third parties, too!) You still have three years to get yourself up to speed for 2020. I really suggest you use your time wisely.

    You know I'm right.

    As is your usual habit, you once again miss the mark. By quite a fair bit. Why am I not surprised?

    neither had a chance to win anyways so you should have voted for the party you wanted to see field a candidate in the future instead of voting for known scum in the uniparty. maybe you're just too dumb to be voting.

      And if you think that Presidents actually have any real power then maybe you're too ignorant to be telling people they shouldn't be voting?

      WTF is the President supposed to do? He's the head of the Armed Forces. So fucking what. Zaphod Beeblebrox was elected president of the Galaxy to distract the idiots from how the government actually works. Go back to school, try again. Your geek education didn't take.

      Protip: Donald Trump was a registered Democrat. His establishment is still covertly harassing right wingers under COINTELPRO II. If you give a fuck about presidents then why do you care what banner they run under? Don't you know that ALL of the parties, even the Pirate Party and Greens are just platforms that differ only slightly on a few key issues?

      Let me know when a candidate mentions theft via inflation or CELLDAR. Until then your votes are meaningless.

        > Donald Trump was a registered Democrat.

        One writer called Trump's party registration "fungible." [thesmokinggun.com] He says he's "evolved." [politifact.com]

      A - "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. "

      B - "Mos Eisley spaceport?"

      A - No, Washington DC.

    Because Trump knows so much about foreign policy. At least Johnson knew enough to stay out of the affairs of others countries and to stop wasting money and lives.

    The Aleppo question was asked immediately following a back-and-forth regarding the two-party US election system [time.com]. There was no indication that the interviewer had changed the subject, and no additional context was given before asking the question:

    What would you do, if you were elected, about Aleppo?

    Competent interviewers generally provide some lead-in to changes in subject, for the benefit both of the interviewee and of the audience. Unless, that is, the actual intent of the interview is to trick the interviewee and make them appear foolish.
    Good job the US media remain resolutely politically neutral.

    So I contend that Johnson did not actually ask "what is Aleppo?", but "what is a leppo?".
    Something to do with particle physics, isn't it?

      Cross between a leopard and a hippo. Possibly the scariest animal ever discovered.

      Which is why Johnson's response should have been "kill every single one", or "nuke them from orbit, it's the only way to be sure". That would have given him half of the Republicannon and Democrater vote immediately.
