James Carville is a person nobody should take advice from ever again.
Carville needs to 'strategically retreat' back into whatever Louisiana snake hole he slithered out of.
I thought it was the ark of the covenant.

The Democrats seem to have come up with two strategies so far: either (1) wait and hope someone does something, or (2) play dead and hope someone does something.
You forgot collect donations
Dude hasn't been correct about how to win elections since 30 years ago, and hasn't been correct about policy ever.
And then he won because he was running Bill "I don't literally hate black and gay people" Clinton against a proven liar who tanked the economy, in an America that cared about those things.

I don't usually take advice from fucking fossils. Sanders is the exception.
Seriously, Carville is fucking 80, hasn't he been myopically dictating the direction of this useless fucking party long enough?
You know, Kristen, when Abraham Lincoln was in Gettysburg, looking out on the field with so many had died to defend freedom, he talked about a vision of America where we have a government of the people, by the people and for the people. What we have right now in Washington, let me be very clear, is a government of the billionaire class, by the billionaire class and for the billionaire class.
What a banger of a quote
“Let me be very clear” is such a Bernie-ism.. even unattributed, it’s so easy to tell that it’s him.
Truly a global loss that he was never given a fair chance to challenge for the Presidency.

One of the main architects of the status quo democrats thinks democrats need to respond to getting stomped by maintaining the status quo? Color me shocked.
The Democrat Party and the Republican Party have never been at odds in their position that their political donors should run the government.
The parties have largely just been the vehicles for turning corruption into legislation. Now that open corruption is legal, there's no need to upset the cart, the Democrats are just waiting their turn.
"What we have right now in Washington, let me be very clear, is a government of the billionaire class, by the billionaire class, and for the billionaire class."
Get some Bernie
Bro, let's try throwing away one more principle, bro. Just one more. Bro, one, please, one more, bro. Just one. Then we'll get votes again. Bro. Just one, bro. One principle. Bro.
"Let the bus continue to accelerate off the cliff, then the Republican voters will be mad at the driver!" says the corporat Dems sitting on the bus.
I would add, says the corporate Dems, sitting on the bus with a parachute made of money.
Sanders channels Lincoln while Carville channels a possum—guess which inspires voters?

I'm a little out of the loop, what are all the cat faces in the comments about?
The cat emojis represent a playful ranking system inspired by "MeowMeowBeanz" from Community.

Carville is a DNC talking head moron and always has been. If we're taking advice from that idiot we're in even worse shape than we thought.
What's Carnival smokin?

As usual, Bernie is spot on.
And, as usual, Carville is a grifting neoliberal coasting on winning one election against an unpopular president 32 years ago.

The trees the New York Times is printed on wishes they were toilet paper instead.
After the 2016 election, until the 2024 election, the Democrats won every election of every National political body except the House in 2022. It was a solid run electorally.
You can complain about what those political bodies accomplished, but not that they didn't win.
