Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

For real. I'm getting pretty sick of thinly veiled skeletons telling the rest of us we are so stupid and lazy.
Fuck him and fuck Trump, too. It's time to kick them all.
Every article about James Carville should mention his role as a paid Palantir advisor.
Vote Blue no MATTER who! UNLESS I personally DONT like Them!
-James Carville!
Democratic strategist
And what the fuck have you ever done for us? Lost every election you needed to win?
The Dems like to have unsuccessful strategists fail upward. See also: Donna Brazile. If that had been my job, I'd have been fired four times for being that incompetent.
Donna Brazile also passed debate questions to Hillary like it was middle school. Dishonorable cretins across the board.
Article says he worked for Bill Clinton, so on that point no.
Many other things about him are off, but not that one.
That was winning an election he should have lost, considering the nightmare that Clinton style neoliberalism has been.
‘Guy who helped run a successful presidential election 30+ years ago’ becomes less impressive when you add in that since then he helped lose the 2004 election and was on the ugly primary campaign Clinton unsuccessfully ran against Obama in 2008. I dunno if he was responsible for the racist shit or not, I just don’t value his judgement even if he wasn’t.
The only reason this guy is famous is that Perot handed the presidential election to Clinton. He and the neoliberals then proceeded to chase "centrist" voters for decades to recapture that magic and thereby lose the SCOTUS for who knows how long.
This dummy is not half as smart as he thinks he is and has a pathetic track record for someone who only cares about winning.
Carville is one of the architects of Clintonian triangulation, which directly led to the corporation-dominated, do-nothing Democratic Party so miserably exemplified by the DNC.
And speaking of Hillary Clinton: if she hadn't been the boss's wife, she would never have had a political career. She's a bloodless neoliberal technocrat who's too charmless, smug and entitled to actually engage with voters, and the "it's my turn" message didn't resonate with anyone.
Literally. Carville looked at the electoral success of Reagan and said to himself "I need to find the DNC its own Reagan". And he did, in the form of Bill fucking Clinton.
Carville's strategy had always been little more than an attempt to drag the Democratic party to the right for the benefit of no one.
I think more and more people a tired of the lack of real change for the better with either party in the US, they have started asking themselves if there is a better way, and are rushing toward any candidate on the actual left.
With the rise of youtube and vloggers moving from the US to other countries, talking about the realities of living outside of the US and reaction channels spreading the videos further, the knowledge of what Americans have been missing out on has grown.
I am not American, but when watching videos of Americans talking about their experiences abroad, I get the feeling that the US has stagnated and even regressed in taking care of it's citizens in the last few decades, and people can't accept it any longer.
Zohran Mamdani is the best thing I have seen in US politics for a very long time, a politician who shows that socialist policies aren't scary.
Go away old man
Carville is a carnival barker hired by the DNC to perform. He's literally a clown for hire.
So fucking stupid, despite out predicting him at every single turn. Never understand why double down is the only option these "no I'm not human" visitors have in their dialog tree.
Third Way senile alcoholic lashes out irrationally.
I entered the article fully ready to learn something, but quickly realized this guy doesn't know what is going on around him
Louisiana, famous for producing Democrats right? Why does anyone listen to this dipshit?
Famously the most politically corrupt state in the nation!
James Carville Slams Democratic Socialists... Cajun Style
I was not aware he was this stupid. ☹️
Who listens to this guy anymore?
Dem Socialists? Oh, you mean actual progressives who are doing their job to represent the interests of the people, instead of the ultra-powerful and wealthy?
I like his old man rants, but I can't take him too seriously.
