WHAT? WOMEN INVENTED CODING. Women are the first pioneers of coding.

QFT. I mean, seriously, Ada Lovelace, Grace Hopper, and the West Computing Group would like a word. And anyone who would like to name more Women Who Built The Internet and Every Other Damn Thing... you know, I'm tempted to make a post at my journal for that.)

You really hit on a lot with the DNC. I think that they feel like they have to court Republicans because they get out and vote and they, to some degree, UNDERSTAND that demigraphic more than the others. That means that they'll be fine throwing women, POC, and anyone in the LGBTQA spectrum under the bus.

QFT yet again. I wish the DNC would have the sheer pragmatic demographic sense, never mind ethics and decency, to go in the other direction and declare themselves the party that believes in "inalienable rights"--- regardless of how you live, love, or look. Like, "Hey, if you believe that all human beings have rights, come under our tent!" because I think that is a much bigger tent than the subset of "white working-class" voters who can be peeled off.
