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.

    He's cheering the economic turnaround of a downtrodden and persecuted nation. Not everything is identity politics.

    One thing I've been wondering about human sociology and psychology lately is whether such a miraculous recovery is possible without the genocide part.

    My hypothesis is that it is not. People define themselves by what they hate. Without a common enemy, people find life lacking in meaning.

    Thanks. I guess I'm old fashioned. I think civic pride and love for your countrymen is a good thing. So much could be accomplished if we worked together. It feels like there are forces that see that as a danger and constantly slam in wedges to prevent it. I think this latest round of identity politics is this method, fully weaponized. It's quite literately splitting people up based on race/gender/sex/whatever and assigning oppression points. Then pitting them against each other.
