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.

          “A tongue for every ass” should be the official DNC centrists slogan and its really all they practice as a platform too.

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
