“I don’t think we can’t work together on pronoun politics. This election did not teach you how damaging that is. I don’t think there’s anything that I can tell you,” Carville said on the Politics War Room podcast on Tuesday…Carville’s comments came after he said last week that the Democratic Party needed to distance themselves from identity politics because their first priority should be to win elections.

    Sorry mate, I don’t buy the excuse.

    They can agree with the Democrat party in terms of healthcare, taxation, foreign policy, and a whole lot of other things but…

    If this were true, then any reasonably intelligent person can put together a list of Pros and Cons and see that the pros massively outweigh the cons here. To still vote for the Con - the literal con artist - despite all evidence to the contrary, means 1) they’re lying about why they vote, or 2) they’re morons who are terrible at assessing values and threats, or both.

      It’s almost certainly #2. What are you going to do about it? Keep losing elections and getting nothing you want or make some Democrats more popular who may be a little wishy-washy on some of your issues but generally supportive of labor rights and not jailing people in El Salvador?
