He's a smart guy, too bad he's a Dem.

Democratic strategist James Carville condemned his party on Thursday for pursuing agendas that he argued are disconnected from the concerns of everyday Americans.
During the “outrage of the week” segment on his “Politics War Room” podcast, Carville expressed frustration with New York Democrats pushing for pet bereavement leave and with the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) gender rules discussed at its Saturday Winter Meeting.
“For my outrage, these are … two things that Democrats have done that are so unmoored to what anyone in the country thinks or feels like. It’s almost impossible. The first one is some Democrats and progressives in New York are advocating for bereavement pet leave,” Carville said. “Okay, so in other words, if your cat dies, you get three days of paid leave. Does anyone even know, like in rural America, like where I grew up, how many dead animals?”
“In the entire history of the United States, let me tell you something — a sentence that has never, ever, ever been uttered: ‘Well, Martha, Fido died, so I can’t bale a hay today.’ I mean, come on,” he continued. “I mean, please, just think of how — and fortunately, no one’s going to overly publicize this, although the right’s using it in some places — just how clueless you sound to people who are agrarian. It’s like, you know, you’re living on a different thing. Life and death on a farm is something that happens every six hours. I mean, my God.”
Democratic New York City council members sponsored a bill in October to enable New Yorkers to utilize their sick time to take care of their pets.
During the DNC meeting on Saturday, outgoing DNC chair Jaime Harrison appeared confused by his own party’s policies on gender inclusivity, struggling to explain that “in order to be gender-balanced” the party must elect “one male, one female, and one person of any gender,” for the party’s vice chair position.
Carville read from an article in The Atlantic about the situation, which reads, “Speaking to the Democratic National Committee, which met to select its new leadership this weekend, the outgoing chair, Jaime Harrison, attempted to explain a point about its rules concerning gender balance for its vice-chair race. ‘The rules specify that when we have a gender-nonbinary candidate or officer, the nonbinary individual is counted as neither male nor female, and the remaining six officers must be gender balanced.'”
“Did I just read this? Of course I did. And do you believe this? Of course you do. Because that’s the level of jackassery that — now, does any Democratic candidate? No. I don’t even know if [newly elected DNC Chair] Ken Martin himself actually [believes it]. But they do it,” Carville said. “And it’s like there’s a plant somewhere in ‘progressive’ America that just sees how many jackass stupid things that they can embrace. It’s stunningly stupid. Both of them.”
I know he is a total dipstick and Leftist loser, but there is something I find absolutely hilarious about him!
I listen to “Louder With Crowder” on my way home from work, and their imitations of him nearly make me run off the road!
James Carville has truly turned into the old man shaking his fist and screaming at the Woke kids to get off the Democrats’ lawn.
LOL! He ain’t wrong.
“And it’s like there’s a plant somewhere in ‘progressive’ America that just sees how many jackass stupid things that they can embrace. It’s stunningly stupid. Both of them.”
Now that would be funny as hell.

Carville is a stout democrat partisan but he’s no progressive.
And this is NOT from the Babylon Bee.
Let that sink in for a minute.
Never before have the memes using turn of the century steam locomotive wrecks been a more fitting metaphor for the Democratic Party.
That is true!
Every now and then the party of evil has amusing moments.
James Carville accusing his people of jackassery. Priceless.
At this point, it is not IF but WHEN the progressives fully take over the democrat party and it becomes basically the insane clown posse party...
This is what happens when the slush funds dry up. They just look petty and small, they still have zero self awareness.
Last week I stocked my small aquarium with 5 new fish. Two have already died and I am heartbroken..... :(
> LOL! He ain’t wrong. <
In a way, Carville is like Bill Maher. Both are living happily on the Democrat plantation. But now and again they will take a few steps off the property.
The Democrats would do well to listen to Carville and Maher. But they won’t. And that’s good for us.
Your prom. Your date. Dance, James.
My emotional hardship however, is not my employers problem. A word to the boss, and accommodations are made. Now if you're a lazy bum worth nothing to the organization, not so much.
He's a smart guy, too bad he's a Dem.
It’s not required, but it helps a lot, to be below-average intelligence to buy into the left’s agenda. Add to that the media caresses and tongue baths which makes the libs even more intellectually lazy, then these things carville is complaining about aren’t the least bit surprising
As usual, this phony pos disgrace to the Marine Corps is blaming the fruit of the poison tree he planted on others.
Remember Serpent Head defended Clinton against Juanita Broderick’s rape charges, mocked Paula Jones as Trailer Park Trash even though Hillary paid Jones for Clinton forcibly sodomizing her, Carville mocked Ken Starr with his ridiculous “Tabacah money” crap the media let him away with and he defended Clinton’s make a brothel out of our White House.
The mess the the rodent party is on Carville Begala and their ilk.
