James Carville Says He’d Rather GOP Win House by 5 Seats Than Dems Win by 5: They’d Be ‘Hostage to DSA’
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.”

Oh Carville, you silly moron, they are hostages to the DSA now, they are just too stupid to realize they cant win without progressive votes.
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.
Somewhere, there's a tongue for every ass.
"A tongue for every ass" should be the official DNC centrists slogan and its really all they practice as a platform too.
Oh I get that. I just wanted to Fpghorn Leghorn at James Carville.
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?"
Stuff people like and CEOs don’t.
Socialism!!! They would do socialism like Medicare for all, educating kids, and taking care of people! We can't have that; this is America!
Do something better than the ACA or label AIPAC as a foreign entity.
Por que no los dos?
Probably all the stuff the stuff the politicians of his generation promised 3 to 5 decades ago.
Facilitate the change obama promised all those years ago.
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.
That word "liberals" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this instance.
Fair. It's a word with many different definitions, and I didn't specify which one I was using.
Carville is a centrist, not even a liberal.
Neoliberals
Establishment Dems hate the left more than they hate the right.
James Carville needs to fuck off to hell. Stop listening to the old guard fucks who e lead us straight into the gapping maw of hell. I hope you eat shit James.
I've been calling him the Agin' Cajun.
It really pisses me off that journalists keep interviewing these assholes that lost to Trump TWICE
Whatever options / strategy they have need to ignored
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.
Third Way, Third Position, what's the difference?
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.
Hay James, fuck off!
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
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.
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
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.
This reeks of "After Hitler, Our Turn" dipshittery
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.
I would hope he is next on the trump cross hair, but he's an old white man, and likely safe for a while.
The guy has been awfully silent about the GOP trying to deport Ilhan Omar.
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.
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
He's terrible
Wow, I thought he was dead.
I hope he lives a while longer, so he can watch in horror as the DSA wing takes over the Dem party just like MAGA took over the Repub party.
No, that's just what he looks like.
I was tragically disappointed as well.
Yes, James, we know.
What exactly does the DSA propose that is not universally well received??
Well, the dragons don't like their hoard being reduced.
Just shut the fuck up and retire in obscurity already, James. Jesus Christ.
But who will warn us about the scary DSA!?
Oh, I'm sure someone will.
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.
Wonderful to see how crappy neoliberals really are.
Vote Blue no matter who*
*Terms and Conditions apply.
ok, now pay him to say that octopus is better than crawfish.
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.
He knows damn well the Democrats' party leadership will use the DSA to win and will then ignore them for 2 years until the next election cycle.
