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.

    " The lesser evil was Clinton, and I voted for her."

    Yet was she the lesser evil or the equal evil?
    She was willing to do whatever it took to win: thoroughly screw Bernie even though HE WAS the better (and leading) candidate. Rewrite history with her book "Wha' happen?" and blame everyone but herself for the loss (certainly not herself, her husband or Wasserman-Schultz).

    She is weak and lame: Bernie was the better candidate but she and the DNC STOLE the election from him.

    She is not a lesser evil: Bernie was the lesser evil. Just think: you COULD have had a good President: instead you had to choose between devils.

    Lesser. Far lesser. But still evil.

    I would have preferred Bernie, personally (and he was still evil in my eyes.) But it really doesn't concern me much how she conducted her competition with Sanders as far as what I would expect from her in the presidency. In that role, I evaluate her as a business-as-usual Democrat, which means that in many way she would have carried on the status quo. That would have been far superior to Trump, not that he turned out to have the chops to get any of it done anyway, between that and the incompetent Republicans in congress, it's been even worse than I initially thought when considering Trump.

    So yeah, I think Clinton would have been better. A lot better. Than Trump. Better than Sanders? No way. If Sanders had been the candidate, he definitely would have had my vote. I voted for him in the primary. I still nurse a vague hope he runs next time around, assuming his health holds up. Perhaps he can navigate the shoals of the oligarchy better on a second try.
