being a wealthy old white man telling others (likely non-white) "no more identity politics" is the definition of unreflective identity politics. likewise, being for/against id politics as well as a populist who cares about the economy and poverty are NOT binary. stop making it so, boomer clintonites. please.
Spelled equal incorrectly . End white hegemony politics . Defend the poor and the vulnerable. Being am advocate is not wrong .
End Frat boy politics. No fucking qualifiers. ALL fucking people are created equall
Looks like a nice selection of reds… got some Rioja?
The Left will not learn from this or similar critiques. I'm a lib who finds the modern Left to be irredeemable. And at the same time, Trump is making his own contribution to the dismantling of democracy. And we can probably mostly blame the Left for Trump's ten year run of relevance as a politician.
And Mr. Carvill, these "progressives" that you describe are living a fairy tale. They believe that they will create a utopia of sorts via these WOKE initiatives. All you have to do to get a sense of what these cult members are about is watch a modern Disney movie, or listen to Gayle King describe her and her fellow "crew" member's trip to space as being ground breaking (indeed, I'm sure they think they shattered the final glass ceiling when they reached the edge of space). They are living in a la la land mentality that has infected nearly everything, and it's nearly as harmful as what Trump is doing–in some ways, it's worse because all this WOKE shit is insidious….like a cancer. There is no dealing with these people. They have to be defeated and marginalized.
Please keep up the identity politics and all your dumb ideas! MAGA! 😂
Right — Pronoun identity rather than citizen identity was the death of what used to be the Democratic Party. On the other side conservatism was given up for cultism. Leaving acutal patriots of the uSA no place to turn in representative politics. Death of citizenship in both parties = Demise of America under fake names of patriotism. Self-deception without limits. Talk about polarity. Or what?
All politics are identity politics, that’s what the word politic means, a set of individual beliefs/ideas/identities that all agree. And let’s be honest the first BIG identity political group in my lifetime was the moral majority and we ALL remember how many times they fumbled the ball, the AIDS epidemic alone is enough to disqualify anything that group says.
Identity politics is only as big of an issue as it is because morons like Carville and Maher keep talking about it on every news outlet that they can.
old dog triple double pinky swear ?
i think what made the middle class small
was big gov n big wall st.
not woke bs, that was more of a distraction.
James Carville is crackers.
What Americans need is even more Identity Politics. It's a winning strategy. One that Democrats abandon at their own peril.
Long time right leaning moderate voting citizen, currently without a party home. If you want to be elected, provide a real, clear difference to local voters. Show how you will make a positive local difference and that there are shared values across our viewpoints. Consider that you will need to simplify the message so you resonate with low-information citizens.
Democrat did all the heavy lifting to make it a thing. Framing everyone not a Democrat as a racist, fascist, bigot is ingrained in indoctrinate Democrats. It’s not going away. Only the fleeing from the party will occur as the light bulb goes on.
The G.O.A.T. keep the wisdom coming please.
No more identity politics! Aren’t ya lil responsible for that James?your a moderate Republican now anyway! Progressive DEMs have ideas 💡..something y’all never did!
Is the party going to have to split in two? I just don’t see the two factions of the party capable of compromise. That’s why the party is frustrating us now, no clear, united message what the party actually stands for. Until that happens, get used to seeing the Republicans in control for years to come.
I agree with James, though he's obviously been into some of that wine, but I'm also a UU and they aren't going for it. Identity and pronouns are priority. I'm reminded of the song Mohammed's Radio and the quote, "You've been up all night listening for his drum/hoping that the righteous might just, might just, might just come."
Take the red pill James. 😂👍🏼
The Democrats will always be tax and deficit spend, tax and deficit spend, tax, tax, tax, spend, spend, spend, deficit, deficit, deficit.
Production values have gone up….we don't have to look up James's nose in this one.
July 17, 1996 – A Day that will live in Infamy. The Game is Up.
Identity politics is what allowed people like Clinton and Carville to get away with betraying American workers. Carville needs to admit his role in this, apologize and work to reform the US economic system. The rest of us need to stopbeing distracted and keep our eyes on the prize.
Glad you are addressing this. We went through this in 68 and got Nixon. Again in 80 and got Reagan. 2016 Trump. 2024 Trump again.
Progressive must understand the majority of Americans don't agree with them.
Carville: You need to own some of the mess we are currently facing. Your buddy, Bill Clinton, was instrumental in moving the Democrats to the right and it only got worse. There is no middle anymore or left anymore. It's either right wing or far right wing. Own it.
Tell 'em James 👀!! 🇺🇲🗽God bless you 🙇🏻♀️ …🗣️📢 Get out there and let your voice be heard 👫👬👭🧑🤝🧑🪧!!
you said the words that needed saying … thank you
Colin Allred had a good shot of defeating Ted Cruz until the Cruz campaign brought out the Trans stuff, a Republican campaign ace in the hole close to the election.
Mr. Carville I'm 25 and I agree with most of what you just said. We need a working class, common sense, socially in-the-middle party. Rights for all, freedom for all, progressive tax scheme, repeal Citizens United, trim down the military budget where we can, and last but not least tackle climate change. That would get us going, and it's not a pipe dream unless we let it be.
Citizen is good, human better. But yes radical multiculturalism which is radical centerism or tolerant coalition building.
Carville should not be listened to at all.
His advice has consistently sucked for a while now & the democrats will get absolutely nowhere with him unless they are looking to be victorious in being defeated at the next election cycle.
Just to drive home the point, Kamala’s campaign had absolutely nothing to do with identity politics, the only aspect of identity politics that existed was the right wing framing of the campaign.
He’s also the same guy that said that democrats should be quiet on criticising Trump and let the administration tank itself, not realising that the only reason Americans are even aware of the situation politically is because democrats are criticising Trump.
Carville is obsolete and he should be treated as such.
No more Carville. We don't need bigots
Well I am deeply passionate about the (Keep hands off movement in America) (Protect Federal Government employee jobs) I have been to a lot of Rallies when posted on the media were to go and what time. I believe that this weekend will be 50501 protests. Are we just making a lot of noise. Or are we really having an effect on elections. I feel really passionate about this movement and will continue to make a lot of noise. Should we protest in areas that have a lot of traffic to reach maximum people. like around Shopping centers where there is a lot of traffic. I have mentioned to people you can't just have rallies in one place all the time. You have to spread them out around the city where there is a lot of volume of people Just don't block anything. I want rallies to make a difference not just make a lot of noise. Last rally I was at a Senator came and two congressmen that was a pretty successful rally. You're a professional political adviser. What would you say a successful rally would be and affect elections.
Dems Civil War 2025. You are not wrong Brotha. The Republicans have been kicking our asses since 1980 with President Regan. Winning is everything. Young folk's are not winning elections against Republicans. We Dems are voting 🗳 at a 37% to 55% to 65% turnout rates across the country. That's a F grade in any educational program. So we get F type candidates. We need to get 93% turnout rates over years so we can get A type candidates 🗽🤺💯⚖️🇺🇸I'm tired of losing elections 💯. Love You My Brotha
Country Over Party
Too late. Identity politics is engrained in the Democrat party. You made your bed, now you sleep in it, with all the other freaks in your party.
Is Carville really that clueless about how the identity politics football is handled by each party?
We won. You lost. Keep crying, Loser! You’re hilarious. 😂😂
We r respect you and Mary with utter respect and admiration
