The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the House Democrats' powerful campaign arm, has just abruptly purged half a dozen staffers.
They complained DCCC Chairwoman Cheri Bustos of Illinois had brought in too many white staffers when she won the position.
Even if all these staffers ended up with cushy lobbying jobs as a reward for their loyalty, this is still a lot more shocking than people perhaps realize.
There are two possible interpretations of this mass-purge at the DCCC. Either a few Democrats are making a racial issue out of a patronage question, once again knifing each other under the cover of intersectionality, or Democrats are genuinely angry that half the staff at the DCCC are white.
Nobody wants to see whites take up identity politics or demand a certain quota of jobs anywhere.
According to exit poll data, whites have been increasingly abandoning the Democratic Party in the last 20 years.
That's still not enough to prevent Democrats from winning, but it already means they can't win in most states without consistently holding together 90% of the black vote and vast majorities with other minority voting blocs.
