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.

    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.

    I wish someone would ask him "What would DSA force them to do?"

    I would also like to know what horrors he thinks DSA could possibly unleash before he farts and dies in a hospital bed. Dude is 81. Just shut up and watch the birds ffs. Why are you still doing this, man?

    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?

    Surprise surprise -- liberals would rather side with Nazis than give a single inch of compromise to the left.

    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.

    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 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.

    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

    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.

  • 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.

    He's just fear mongering anyway...

    as it stands now there is about a 1-in-4 to 1-in-3 chance the majority is thin enough that DSA is the actual tipping faction. Projections have the Dems winning 11-17 over the 218 line.

    As always it's more complicated then indicated. Nuances about agendas, caucusing, defection, rules, and more.

    What exactly does the DSA propose that is not universally well received??

    This is why it's critical for dems to win as many seats as possible. We desperately need to move left and votes are more important than ever

    2027, in the fall, or thereabouts, maybe 2028, the administration is likely going to try and indict dem leaders, and front runners that they think could beat them, for manufactured allegations I suspect.

    They are trying to do some of that stuff now.

    Democrats can take complete control of congress and they’ll still be hamstrung by the parliamentarian. They’re not going to do shit.

    But, I’ll still vote for them, just to piss off the pedo pres.

    Old guard Zionist first rule over America first, instead of in favour of any progressive policy/shared prosperity for Americans. DNC gets paid to lose whenever that is best Zionist supremacist outcome. They call it "donor pressure" instead of corrupt treason.
