The Democratic National Committee continues to tie itself in knots with its identity politics obsession, and this time, the results were on full display.
Outgoing DNC Chair Jaime Harrison struggled to explain the convoluted gender quota system used to determine party leadership, leading to an awkward and absurd moment at the party’s recent leadership vote, as reported by The Western Journal.

Harrison attempted to lay out the gender balancing rules during Saturday’s meeting, where Minnesota Democratic Party Chair Ken Martin was selected as the new DNC Chair. The process, however, quickly turned into a bureaucratic nightmare.
“We have an amazing group of new officers,” Harrison declared, before diving into the gender quota policies.
“So far, as you know, our three at-large vice chair positions are used to ensure gender balance among seven offices: treasury, secretary, national finance chair, and vice chair for civic engagement and voter participation, and the three at-large vice chairs.”

It didn’t get any clearer from there.
“Our rules specify that when we have a non-binary candidate or officer, the non-binary individual is counted as neither male nor female, and the remaining six offices must be gender balanced with the results of the previous four elections,” he added in a video that quickly made the rounds on X.
I can’t believe what I just listened to. The DNC Leader interrupted the party election to tell members that not enough non-binary candidates have been elected, so they MUST now vote for one.

The explanation didn’t make much sense to the audience, but Harrison plowed ahead. “Our elected officers are currently two male and two female. In order to be gender balanced, we must, we must elect one male, one female, and one person of any gender,” he insisted.
His redundancy didn’t make it any clearer: “So, again, this is what we have to do for this vice chair race. We have to elect one male, one female, and one person of any gender.”
If that wasn’t confusing enough, Harrison made sure to name-drop every leftist activist group involved in crafting these arbitrary rules.
“To ensure our process accounts for male, female, and non-binary candidates, we conferred with our RBC co-chair, our LGBT caucus co-chair, and others to ensure that the process is inclusive and meets the gender balance requirements in our rules.”
He then admitted the rules had to be altered at the last minute to make sense: “To do this, our process will be slightly different than the one outlined to you earlier this week, but I hope you will see that in practice, it is simple and transparent.”
Simple? Transparent? Hardly.
Harrison continued spinning the DNC’s web of self-imposed contradictions:
“As we must elect a candidate of any gender, as well as one male and one female vice chair, we will first ask members to elect a candidate of any gender on the first ballot. Any candidate, male, female, or non-binary, can be elected on that ballot.”
After that, he explained, the gender puzzle pieces would start to fall into place—somehow.
“After a candidate is elected on the first ballot, we will have one officer of the three, so we will not, then we will know which position is filled of the one male, one female, and one vice chair of any gender.”
Clear as mud.
To cap off this circus, radical anti-gun activist David Hogg was elected as one of three DNC vice chairs. Joining him were Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta and Artie Blanco.
Other elected officers included Reyna Walters-Morgan as vice chair for civic engagement and voter participation, Virginia McGregor as treasurer, Jason Rae as secretary, and Chris Korge as national finance chair.
While the DNC continues its fixation on identity politics, regular Americans are left shaking their heads, wondering if any of this has anything to do with actually governing.

I wonder if these people feel as silly as they sound. Is Kamala Harris the President of this, or is her speech writers the people that write these speeches?
