Longtime Democrat strategist James Carville has unleashed a screed against his own party.
But an analysis says while leftist politicians would benefit by listening, they probably won’t.
Reacting to a Democrat meeting that claimed to recognize the “stolen land” on which Minneapolis sits, stolen from Native Americans of course, Carville ranted, “Lady, you’re right, what we did to the Native Americans has really been well documented. It is a sad part of our nation’s history. [But] why Why are you bringing this up in an election!? This is an election, and the DNC is not the place to discuss this. Understand this, the DNC does not exist to right wrongs. It doesn’t exist to acknowledge the more unpleasant parts of history. It doesn’t exist to make people feel good. It exists — just get it through your head —to win elections.”
Listen to the vitriolic, sometimes foul, often offensive, Carville:

A commentary at RedState explained, “Veteran Democrat strategist James Carville is an interesting guy. Furthermore, the older the architect of Bill Clinton’s victorious 1992 presidential campaign gets, the more interesting he becomes.
“I mean, I don’t know if I view James as ‘a man I love to hate,’ or ‘a man I hate to love’ — just kidding, both counts — but I do know this: In today’s crazed world of Democrat politics, the wayward party would do itself a favor if it listened more to Mr. Carville, which I’m more than confident it won’t do.”
The commentary said Carville’s “latest” rebuke follows the complaining of “indigenous queer woman” Lindy Sowmick, of Minnesota’s Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, who insisted on honoring the “Dakota Oyate.”
It explained, “Carville absolutely went off on his party for seemingly failing to learn from both its beatdown in the 2024 general election and its ongoing string of defeats at the hands of President Donald Trump and the Republican Party. ”
Carville being “spot on” involved pointing how “your out-of-touch Democrat Party has intentionally moved away from mainstream America, including millions of former Democrat voters who’ve grown tired of the nonsensical (mis)focus of your Trump-obsessed party.”
