You're right -- the resistance efforts in 2017-2020 absolutely failed, that's why we *checks notes* oh, I see we took back the House in 2018 and kicked out Trump in 2020, what the fuck are you talking about?

Maybe he can hook up w Robby Mook, take some landline polls, make some grand assumptions about the way minorities & union members ALWAYS vote, ignore the upper Midwest, underestimate the motivated fervor of the delusional opposition, & lose a few more elections so that we’ll REALLY be screwed 🤣🙄

So tired of tired voices.

This guy www.nytimes.com/2024/10/23/o...

Carville takes credit for Bill’s 92 win, but he’s forgetting that Ross Perot divided the GOP, Bush Sr was uncommonly unpopular, and any young Democrat was going to remind people of the glory days of JFK. strategy did not play that big a role.

James Carville still uses a check book.

Democrats need to HOLD. THE LINE. Let the Rs fail, on their own. And use everything they've got to STOP THEM. It's going to take everyone holding the line to stop this madness!

He’s irrelevant now.

Every interview just lounging back in some overstuffed chair…like he can’t even put the smallest effort into “phoning” it in. He makes us look so unserious, lazy & unfocused with the rambling appeasements. Done with all of it.

Saw him on a podcast recently saying this. I was dumbstruck. He still thinks this is about electoral politics. Fascinating how the elderly often cannot shed narrative structures that served them in the past but no longer reflect reality. See also “Chuck Schumer”

Who df takes this sexist idiot seriously?

Spoken like a guy who isn’t going to feel the pain that’s coming. SO out of touch. Time for the dinosaurs to meet the asteroid.

Dear Mr. Carville - We don’t have the luxury of 45 months to lay out our strategy. At the rate Mango Tater is dismantling the country, there won’t be a nation left by November, 2028.

He helped get a philandering governor of a minor state elected over an incumbent. I may not like him, but he may have some thoughts.

Carville made one memorable comment back in the 90's. That doesn't make him a modern political genius. He needs to retire from whatever he does that gets him media exposure and let the next generation of Dems take over.

Carville is a perfect example of why it’s easy to sell a “swamp” message. Dude can’t save a file as a PDF, he needs to take a seat in the back and be quiet.

He’s one of the reasons we have Trump.

Tactically stop the fight? Please... Multitask - fight and plan simultaneously.

If we do not fight now in every way possibly there is no future really

So he brought up Muhammed Ali to suggest the Dems play rope-a-dope. Yeah, that'll work.

Well I disagree.

Trump thrives on the adoration and can't take a simple mild rebuke without going ballistic. Your solution is to surround the White House with protesters, 24/7 and bring him to the edge where he starts to crumble. It's the only thing he's capable of doing. And the people will see him lose it.

Geez - again, some dumb bullshit coming from aged democrats.

Can't think of a worse idea It took Hitler 53 days to dismantle Germany

Ultimately, the power is with the people, not their elected officials.

Why don't *you* (James Carville) make a tactical pause & plan for the future amirite

Delay delay delay

Agreed. How can this clown be so wrong?

James Carville has had nothing useful to say in years. Can’t handle listening to him at all. If he’s ever on a tv interview, I turn it off

Carville is definitely past his "sell by" date.

Listen to Old Serpent Head.

I thought he was stupid when I heard this. Also,now they're attacking Warren and Bernie. Fekking Dems. They simply will not stop behaviors that make them lose.

He was absolutely wrong about the last election why would I listen to him now. His misreading of situations is a common thread with him.

people: democrats, can you do something? democrats: best I can do is nothing 😎

Never need to hear from him or the Clintons again

Fucking James carville. Fuck this, there is a whole lot we can do. Protest. Boycott. Annoy the shit out of the simps in congress.

James, shut the fuck and let me teach you something real important. They can sow chaos, but they can't manage it. The slower they go, the less they can break. Faith without acts is dead. Still with me? Good... Got something from ya..

He's just another old, white, male (80) who can't let go of power and money. Retire James, go away. We don't want to hear you anymore.

Attacking Carville isn't smart

James Carville was so sure that Kamala would win that he was smiling while popping champagne a month before November. He's done nothing but take for granted the intelligence of people. Most Americans don't have time to research the bills and get deep, a fact that seems to escape him

This is EXACTLY the opposite of what everyone needs. Nobody wants to take this lying down and then try to be reactive when the damage is already done.

Carville is way wrong!

People still listen to this surrender monkey?

Understood....but right NOW a call to these congress people to bring heat WILL help. Simple message - NO to medicare cuts, NO to 4 trillion dollar debt raise , no to 1.5 trillion dollar tax cuts to the top 1%, no to Musk stealing our info www.americanprogressaction.org/article/thes...

This is exactly the critical, thought provoking type of response that won the last election. Well done.

I'm still waiting on the Ghost of Ted Sorenson to weigh in.

I am having a tactical Pause in my interest in him. a permanent tactical pause.

OMG - This is a REALLY awful take. Only a tiny fraction of Americans have ever been personally involved in ANY political campaigns. Do they lose the right to express their opinions? It’s fine if you disagree with him, but do with rational arguments, not this crap.

it seems that there is a whole bunch of geriatric politicians that listen to geriatric advisors.

The genius strategy of the consultant class, everyone

"Step 1 to resisting the administration: Lay down and die" has Carville been right on a call in... ever?

I see Carville’s name and I run in the other direction. He is beyond irrelevant.

Can he just fucking sit on his couch with his GOP wife and watch L&O reruns and do the jumble in the paper FFS?

💯. He is outdated and obnoxious.

This 👆🏼

I hate his fucking guts why are Dems still listening to him?!?!?

Time for a youth movement... hell 50 would be "young" lol

You’re fighting illegitimate with legitimate.., That’s akin to bringing a squirt gun to an artillery battle

I loathe him. Creepy hillbilly.

Ignore him, please!!!!! Old dude trying to be relevant!

***On March 4th, Agent orange is scheduled for a State of the Union address w/congress at 9PM*** WE NEED PEOPLE TO RTO AND HEAD TO OUR NATIONS CAPITAL in MASS on this day. This is a Call for Action. Grab your friends and family, carpool and let’s make our presence known and FELT.

We really need to get rid of these old men who don’t even understand what’s happening.

Authoritarian regimes and corporate oligarchies only win when people surrender.

Well, given his track record in Colombia, he does know a thing or two about fascism. And those two things are aiding and abetting it.

I'd already started to bypass this man's positions when he blamed our problems on "too many preachy women", but now I have zero interest in his prescriptions. Maybe he should go help the moderate GOP create a new party and leave us alone.

Thank god James Carville was not advising Winston Churchill in 1939. "Sure the Germans are bombing the shit out of London, but the smart move is to not say anything to the British people. Just let them them turn on the Germans on their own. They don't need your leadership."

I wish James Carvell would go TF away somewhere it's not the 1990's anymore 🤦🏿‍♀️ he's completely out of touch with Americans in 2025.

Lol he says "we" as if he's an active part of the Democratic party and not some random, outdated pundit occasionally ranting on CNN.

Amen.

Watching “Judgment at Nuremberg” right now. It chillingly illustrates the consequences of Carville’s roll-over strategy.

Someone else made this point the other day that the Democratic Part is full of old farts still playing like it's 1993. Which I think the campaign kind of showed when they went from the attack with Walz and Weirdo to Book Tour with Kamala and Liz. Tacking to the center after the convention, 1991.

Is Carville out of his f’ing mind??!! A”tactical pause”?? James hon, with respect, take your meds then go take a nap. Your time is OVER!

Don’t beg; just tell him to STFU.

He needs to fucking go live the rest of his life on some farm, cut off from technology and the Democrat party. He’s probably a GOP sleeper agent trying to fuck this up for Dems.

Agree 💯. They need to fight every step of the way. People need to see them fighting every step of the way. They need to be loud and disruptive. They need to be *young*. The Old Guard of the Democratic Party needs to step back and step down.

Add it to a list of other NYT opinions that have not aged well including ‘Musk doesn’t realize Trump is already done with him”

We've well and done run out of "Tactical Pauses" - at some point you've got to go after them like a particularly angry bear. Because that's what Democrats ought to embody right now: A vicious, angry, usually peaceful-but-not-at-the-moment animal.

WTF 🤔
