Democratic Party strategist James Carville unleashed fury over the DNC’s recent summer meeting, which opened with a “land acknowledgement” and pushed progressive social policies that Carville has long called on the party to abandon.
“Let’s talk about the land for a second,” said Lindy Sowmick, treasurer of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) and self-styled “indigenous queer woman,” at the start of the party’s annual summer meeting.
“The DNC acknowledges and honors the Dakota Oyate – the Dakota people – who are the original stewards of the lands and waters of Minneapolis,” Sowmick continued.
“The Dakota cared for the lands, lakes and the Wakpa Tanka – the ‘Great River,’ the Mississippi River – for thousands of years before colonization. This land was not claimed, or traded – it’s a part of a history of broken treaties and promises. And, in many ways, we still live in a system built to suppress Indigenous peoples’ cultural and spiritual history.”
Sowmick encouraged attendees to value land acknowledgements as “more than just checking a box.”
Carville was enraged by this display.
“Why are you bringing this up in an election, okay? What we did with all kinds of things, with slavery, with experimenting with drugs, what we did during what happened in the Confederacy during the Civil War, Andersonville,” Carville said.
“This is an election and the DNC is not the place to discuss this,” the former Clinton strategist ranted.
“Understand this; the DNC does not exist to right wrongs. It doesn’t exist to acknowledge the more unpleasant parts of history.”
“It doesn’t exist to make people feel good. It exists, get this through your head, to win elections.”
Carville then asked how acknowledging land previously owned by Native American tribes in the Dakotas helps Democrats win elections.
“Please stop this in the name of a just, merciful God. Don’t you see what’s happening? Don’t you see where this has brought us to? For God’s sakes, lady, what is Ken Martin doing, doing that? You have one job, Ken. It’s to win.”

Carville has been sounding the alarm over Democratic Party messaging for a while now.
In 2024, he was particularly concerned with the party’s pitch to working-class male voters, a demographic that has provided critical support to Democrats in the past but has been increasingly moving towards the right.
He blamed the shift on “too many preachy females” having power in the Democratic Party, pointing to the rise of trends like cancel culture, tone policing, and endless HR-style lectures.
“A suspicion of mine is that there are too many preachy females … It’s too much ‘don’t drink beer, don’t watch football, don’t eat hamburgers, this is not good for you,’” he said during a Washington Post panel last year.
Dude is going to stroke out one day in the middle of a rant.
They can’t help it. They’re well into the blindness stage of their arrogance now.
Why would he shut up? He’s absolutely correct - these parties exist to win elections.
What they do with them afterwards is up for serious discussion, but to pander to self-absorbed special interests trying to hoard as much political cache as possible BEFORE they gain actual power? That’s a losing proposition.
Aside to this - playing on white guilt only lasts so long (far too long, but there are still limits).
What is really a losing strategy is supporting criminals over the average blue collar or white collar voter.
Even those people living in the Blue cities want to be safe.
If you are afraid of criminals selling drugs and committing violet acts in your neighborhood then you might be in favor of the Political party that changes that.
If Trump can actually bring down crime in some of these cities, you would think most of the inhabitants of those cities would be happy about that.
Crazy Train
Song by Ozzy Osbourne ‧ 1980
All aboard!
Ay!
Crazy, but that’s how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it’s not too late
To learn how to love and forget how to hate
Mental wounds not healing
Life’s a bitter shame
I’m going off the rails on a crazy train
I’m going off the rails on a crazy train
(Let’s go)
I’ve listened to preachers, I’ve listened to fools
I’ve watched all the dropouts who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role
Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I’m going off the rails on a crazy train
I’m going off the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words, yeah-yeah!
Heirs of a cold war, that’s what we’ve become
Inheriting troubles, I’m mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I’m living with something that just isn’t fair
Mental wounds not healing
Who and what’s to blame?
I’m going off the rails on a crazy train
I’m going off the rails on a crazy train
The ledge
The edge, edge

So Carville is upset that the Rats are exposing what they really want to do, instead of what they usually do, which is lie.
They can’t stop. If they did, they would stand for nothing. It’s their well of stupid they drink from. Let em drink it dry.
No, they are not. The Dakota took it from other peoples. Their own tribal stories and legends talk about it. One of the Sioux (The Dakota are part of the Sioux nation) chiefs talked about this to congress after the Little Big Horn battle. He said that his grandfather told him about when the tribe invaded the plains and took the land from the previous inhabitants.
Oh, shut up arsehole. The DNC has been this way for decades, ever since thier platform openly endorsed abortion right after birth. You have allied yourself with this crappola for years.
Thank God, I won’t have to listen to you whiny muppets anymore. 😁
I got excited reading the headline, but was disappointed to find out that James Carville did not actually explode.
Yes! That’s the good news.
Forgot the /s...
Hey, old SnakeHead.....guess what?
That old democrat party has been dead for a long time.
It’s name has been politically appropriated by radical domestic, anti-American communists to hoodwink the working folks and low-IQ types into continuing to support them, but they’re really hellbent on the destruction of of the USA as we know it.
And oh, about those wonderful “preachy females” ya’ll got. They are better known as AWFUL: Affluent, Wealthy, Female Urban Leftists (Lunatics for short) that think they’re smarter than you, or anybody esle for that matter, and ain’t afraid to tell ya so. In reality, they’ve done more to destroy America than any foreign enemy. They’re as crazy as bedbugs and just as nasty. Add a few insane, murderous tranny folks, etc. and that’d be YOUR party today, SnakeHead. You’d be wise to just pack it up and run like hell’s after ya...because it is.
James better get the message.
He is standing on Native American land.
The only way he can right that wrong is to find some place on the planet where Indigenous People never lived.
If that does not work he needs to get on one of those Bezos rockets and never return.
Lol.
Dakota took the land from Ojibway in Minnesota and from Sac and Fox in Iowa. My wife’s family still farms land in what was the ‘neutral zone’ between Dakota and the Sac and Fox.
