Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville said he would rather see Republicans keep control of the House by five seats than watch Democrats win the chamber by the same margin, warning that a “nightmare” razor-thin majority would leave party leaders “hostage to the DSA.”

    I do declare it is high time we escort Mr. Carver back to his room in the dementia ward. He’s gone and thought he was relevant again.

      Unfortunately he is representative of the DNC consultants. The guy interviewing him treated his opinion as a given.

    Fucking Boomers of any party are the plague

    Establishment Democrats are basically Bush Era Republican douches

    DSA are the only candidates I’ve been excited about in decades

    Carville is such a dumb old fuck. If it weren’t for “veteran Democratic strategists” like this fucker, we wouldn’t have half the problems we do.

    So… You’re literally rooting for the fascists then, Carville. You’re an enemy of progress and your own party. Please retire or go away.

    The Democratic party leadership hates the DSA, Democrats abandoned labor decades ago and the DSA is pro labor.

    Personally, I think the DSA is “bait”, used by the Democrats to win elections, but then abandoned.

    I hope I’m wrong and the DSA does hold the party leaders “hostage” to force attention to their cause. That’s what they’re supposed to do. That’s how you pass legislation, or at least get some concessions.

    I suspect the Democrats will betray the DSA at the first opportunity. That’s what Amazon pays them to do, after all. STOP LABOR AT ALL COSTS

    What in the actual fuck. I think his brain is is turning to mush.

    Being “hostage” to the DSA would be worse than being hostage to the Nazis?

    Isn’t that the guy who said “it’s the economy stupid” back in 1991?

    And what since? I think I kind of remember him telling Dems to play possum after Trump won.

    I’m pretty much a moderate, but I’ll take the far left over the Republicans any day. I’ll vote my guys in primaries and I’m whoever doesn’t want to overthrow democracy and deport my wife in the general elections. Not a hard choice.

    Carville needs to lay off the whisky. Sad truth is he’s long been a Third Way DINO who helped get us to this situation in the first place.

    Guy’s too lazy to actually persuade or change where people are but instead hides just how actually conservative he is and thinks we should just continuously cater to the blind, as if that has no repercussions.

    Anyways, what he’s really saying is “Trump isn’t so bad.” Fucking nuts.

    Fuck James Carville, his southern drawl crypt keeper ass. He’s one of the people that has been taking jabs at progressive Dems. He’s helping nobody but his wallet.
