James Carville Costs Democrats Votes Every Time He Opens His Entitled, Obnoxious, Ignorant Mouth

Hello Friends,James Carville recently went after Jasmine Crockett and his comments left me enraged. Here’s a guy that’s so out of touch that he thinks he has to use his platform to bash rising democrats. Read the room a*****e, that’s not what we need right now.Couldn’t Mr. “resting skeleton face” find any fascists to criticize this morning? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not criticizing the way he looks, I’m criticizing the choice he makes when he contorts his features into the expressions commonly worn by 1850’s plantation owners.The sneer. The air of entitlement. The mockery. Those are all his decisions. That’s all deliberate. He could make himself look kind if he wanted to. Everyone can. Instead, he snarls at people like he’s about to lunge forward and bite their kneecaps off. It’s my personal opinion that going after Jasmine Crockett right now the way he did is racist. I highly doubt that if a white man did the same things Jasmine Crockett did, Carville would be dry coughing his attacks. But because Jasmine Crockett is a brilliant Black woman, Carville gets his brittle straw undies in a bunch.I started spewing about Carville’s comments last night, and the brilliant Arturo Dominguez mentioned how, back in 2013, Carville told Obama to go “toke on a crack pipe.”Well… gee, does that sound a little bit racist to anyone? It does to me.There’s a certain category that Arturo refers to as the clean-cut klansmen. These are the guys who somehow manage to maintain a reputation of propriety, even though you don’t have to look too hard to find the racism.Does Carville fit that model? I’ll leave it to you to decide.Recently the nepo baby orange post turtle called a reporter “piggy” and told her to “shut up.” There was a backlash against the other members of the press who didn’t rise to her defense. I think Carville just had a “piggy” moment and it’s imperative for other Democrats to rise up and tell him that his antics are not appropriate. He’s sabotaging the party. He’s pissing off voters. When other prominent Democrats don’t use their platform to rebuke him, we lose support.It doesn’t take an Ivy league degree to notice this, it’s pretty damn obvious.As I was working through my rage yesterday, somebody said that we shouldn’t give oxygen to people like Carville. I had to think about that for a while because I think it’s prudent advice. There are some instances of people that don’t deserve oxygen. But I think Carville falls into a different category of threat.Nick Fuentes is in the group that doesn’t deserve our attention, so is the president. Don’t talk about them. Talking about them only normalizes them. They’re fringe.But Carville’s corpse fingers are still clinging to his status as a “respected” Democratic strategist. The party hasn’t figured out that he’s a cancer, he’s rotten, he’s an anchor. He needs to have his platform kicked out from beneath him.I’d argue that Carville costs Democrats a LOT more votes than Fuentes. Whenever he slithers up to his podium to bleat his racist observations and then laugh about them like he’s the smartest guy in the room, Democrats get all the wind sucked out of their sails.THIS GUY IS KILLING US!There’s this zombie theory lingering around the Democratic establishment that we have to respect the “old guard” with “experience.” Well, the only experience Carville has is with losing. Look at the state of things. Carville is one of those jackasses who takes credit for every success and passes the blame for every loss.Who does that remind you of?The reasons Democrats continue to lose is because they listen to inept and outdated smirking a******s like Carville. He’s MAGA lite. He’s allowed to criticize anyone and everyone round the clock, but the moment you mentioned that maybe something he said was a bit “culturally insensitive” he turns those empty eye sockets in your direction and screams, “YOU’RE PART OF THE PROBLEM!”Gee Carville, isn’t there room in your “big tent” for me? Can’t we disagree and still be friends? Don’t you appreciate constructive criticism? Speaking of that, would you mind putting on a mask, you’re scaring the kids. No… not the white pointy one with the eye holes and the… oh, my god!Friends, I think we need to focus on Carville and other Democrats carved in the image of Carville. That’s the problem! It’s not the nazis and the racists and the klanners, it’s the more moderate (but still awful) guys like Carville who only rise up to knock people down whenever it looks like the Dems are about to get a win.This guy is a saboteur. I NEED to hear prominent politicians get up and start bashing him. We can’t have people in our party who told Obama to “go smoke a crack pipe.” Are you f*****g kidding me?If there’s one thing that 2025 has taught me, it’s that the fascists are a distraction. Yes, they are guilty of terrible atrocities, but they’re also a bunch of incompetent clowns. The real danger can be found in the “clean cut” enablers who spend their entire political career propping up members of white supremacy terrorist groups, only to tear them back down so they can take all the credit.Friends, we’re being played. Even Martin Luther King Jr. said the worst obstacle to equality could be found among the moderates rather than the extremists. This is what he meant! Carville is the poster boy! He’s dangerous exactly because we’re tempted to think, “oh, he’s harmless” or “oh, he’s irrelevant” or “oh, we should be more worried about the openly racist terrorist groups.”All that’s a distraction. The fringe people are not the biggest problem. The biggest problem can be found in the enemies we’ve allowed inside the house who have gotten comfortable in the guest room and who are slowly poisoning the air we breathe with their foul stench.If there are any decent Democrats out there, they need to rise up and tell James Carville to sit the f**k down and shut the f**k up. He’s costing us votes. He’s doing it with a smirk on his face because his only allegiance is to himself. Don’t underestimate how malicious and manipulative a guy like that actually is. Everything about him is an example of how we got into this mess. If we’re going to get out of it, we have to cut ourselves free from the anchor.You all make this newsletter happen!
