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.

    Moving to something other than first-past-the-post would be a good move, and could even be done state-by-state rather than have to be done all in one go, making it more likely to actually happen.

    Switching to a completely popular vote for President ignores the entire rationale for having a federal system in the first place, though. It's a really stupid idea, and it was a really stupid idea when we switch to it for Senators (and removing that particular check has indeed resulted in a major expansion of federal government over-reach). It is, however, a really popular idea to a certain class of people (not only Democrats by any means) who hate the idea of checks and balances (when it's their ideas being checked) and want to make things as easy for themselves as possible.

    The delusion (again shared by both parties) that "this time it's forever" after a win doesn't help matters.
