A renowned Democrat strategist is warning Kamala Harris that she risks losing to Donald Trump - unless she tells the far left wing of her party to 'f*** off.'
James Carville - who helped Bill Clinton's successful 1992 White House run - had correctly predicted President Biden would drop out of the race, but supported an open 'mini primary' rather than installing Harris.
However, now that Carville is supporting the Democrat nominee, he's demanding she not listen to the 'woke' progressive side of the party.
'I wish she'd tell them all to go f*** themselves,' Carville said, adding that the 'squad' acolytes are always 'dead-a** wrong' on policy.
'Understand this, and I'm going to say this as clearly as I can: Anybody that has ever listened to anything that the progressive left has ever said has lived to profoundly regret it,' Carville added.
When asked by the Politics War Room podcast, he cited progressive Senator Elizabeth Warren's failed 2020 presidential campaign as an example of progressive failures.
'Ask Elizabeth Warren and Medicare-for-All. She blew her campaign up with one speech, all right? I'd love to read a good article on who really was the strategic idiot behind her 2020 presidential campaign, because they were real f******' idiots, alright?'
Harris initially supported Medicare for All when she ran in 2020 but has since flip flopped on the issue.
Carville also said progressives were to blame for failures of the Biden-Harris agenda, such as the border crisis.
'And why is the border an issue? Because Biden listened to these people early in his term. They weren't just wrong; they were catastrophically wrong. Understand that,' he said.
He referred to the far left as 'literally walking catastrophes'.

The less talk about issues the better.
Conventional thought is that conventional issues are the place of argument and persuasion.
This is wrong. Independents will decide the election. Appealing to the base is a losing strategy because they are already going to turn out. This is true on both sides. Independents our focused on their own issues. This is the place where voting percentage can be sliced off for a given candidate.
Things like Bitcoin to the surprise of nearly everybody is relevant to fully 20% of Independents. Trump has made a grasp at that 20% by speaking to the crypto conference. The Democrats are on record as strongly opposed to bitcoin.
We don’t need to debate Bitcoin. I’m sure there is no profound position on the part of most conservatives concerning it. But it is a brilliant recognition that Independents are not a segment that are in some fashion so moderate that they are stuck in the middle of anything. They are, rather, a faction with its own issues of interest.
Drain the Swamp is a major independent issue. Both parties, the establishments within the parties, are strongly opposed to the populist perspective of drain the swamp. Since there is no establishment of independent voters, they’re generally in favor of drain the swamp, and this is votes. This is a decisive number of votes.
Carville is talking about winning by avoiding the extreme faction of his party. The real path to victory is grabbing votes outside the party, and Trump has done that from day one, which is what set him against the establishment.
“Warren”
I visited her website years back and Tim Scott’s about a year ago.
All I saw was a demand for money.
“Medicare-for-All”
It’s $2096.40/year to cover one-fourth the cost of Medicare Part B.
Medicare Part B covers 80% of injectable drug and 80% of doctor and therapist care allowed charges.
If I was actually to see a doctor, I would also need to pay 20% of his/her allowed charges.
Medicare is not cheap.
Medicare Part A covers hospital stays with an annual deductible of I think around $1600.
Hospitals need to be split up to increase competition.
Drug plans should be sold separately from hospital and doctors plans. When piggybacking is allowed, providers tend to become pigs.
“Base load affected facilities that follow the CCS pathway must meet a second phase standard based on 90% capture of CO2, using CCS, by 2035”
“Baseload affected facilities that follow the low-GHG hydrogen pathway must meet a second phase standard based on co-firing 30% low-GHG hydrogen by volume by 2032 and a third phase standard based on cofiring 96% by volume low-GHG hydrogen by 2038”
“must”
Imagine what your future electric bills are going to look like.
Trump should start saying:
I’ll make sure that if you love your pick-up truck, you can keep your pick-up truck, and refuel it too, with reasonably priced fuel.
I’ll be paying over $2000/year in Medicare Part B premiums.
For practitioner care and injected drugs, Medicare Part B will cost over $10000/year/covered person.
Hospital impatient care comes under Part A. Pills come under Part D.
Her base consists mostly of leftist loons and Trump haters. Abortion, abortion, abortion. Climate change, climate change, climate change, and now court packing.
“A renowned Democrat strategist is warning Kamala Harris that she risks losing to Donald Trump - unless she tells the far left wing of her party to ‘f*** off.’”
The only problem with that is that SHE IS THE FAR LEFT.
Kamala’s father was a Commie professor.
She is not going to disavow his teachings.
