Longtime Democrat strategist James Carville told Vox on Tuesday that "wokeness is a problem" for the party "and we all know it."
Carville added that despite success in the 2020 elections, Democrats have a "messaging problem."
"If we’re just talking about [President Joe Biden] Biden, it’s very difficult to find something to complain about," Carville said. "And to me his biggest attribute is that he’s not into 'faculty lounge’ politics."
Carville explained.
"You ever get the sense that people in faculty lounges in fancy colleges use a different language than ordinary people?," he said. "They come up with a word like 'Latinx' that no one else uses. Or they use a phrase like 'communities of color.' I don’t know anyone who speaks like that. I don’t know anyone who lives in a 'community of color.' I know lots of white and Black and brown people and they all live in ... neighborhoods.
"There’s nothing inherently wrong with these phrases. But this is not how people talk. This is not how voters talk. And doing it anyway is a signal that you’re talking one language and the people you want to vote for you are speaking another language. This stuff is harmless in one sense, but in another sense it’s not."
Carville added, "We have to talk about race. We should talk about racial injustice,” but "we need to do it without using jargon-y language that’s unrecognizable to most people — including most Black people, by the way — because it signals that you’re trying to talk around them."

What does Carville expect with the party centers its membership on the LGBTQ and whatever? These aren’t the smartest or strongest of our community. And their alignment with the peaceful Islamic Cult will eventually tear them apart from the inside.
Vote fraud.
As I stated on a thread about Joy Behar the other day:
“LibIdiots work hard on their name-calling, don’t they???”
Just like a bunch of junior high kids. . . .
sorry jimmy horses have left the barn
“There’s nothing inherently wrong with these phrases”
Yes there is.
Carville has been consistent on his view and take of wokeism, but that about all I am giving him when it comes ‘call un the way he sees um’ bit....
RIGHT! And he's telling them, You're all doing just fine! But lay off the $10 words and elitist jargon for now, won't you? Or you'll risk alienating the vast, uneducated masses we want to mobilize in our bid for power!
Regards,
Why is it problem? They say it’s good and they have the House, the Senate, and the presidency?
To an extend this is true, but it is only because the dude is a senile old fool who doesn't even recognize he's now the president.
There is, actually. These phrases are not intended to communicate, they're intended to obfuscate, to frame the discussion such that only one side may be heard. The term "whiteness", for example, is semantically null but in wide use - everyone pretends to know what it is, and it's bad, but to challenge that vacuity is simply a sign of possessing it. That is not the stuff of any sort of honest discourse and it isn't intended to be, it's a shield against it.
I read that Carvile still wants to promote "systemic racism", but wants different terms because Blacks can't understand the current terms. Ok, let's try "national racism" so Blacks can better understand that fallacy. What a racist pr*ck.
Thanks blam. The media has a slimy liar problem, and he's exhibit A.
He interfered in israeli elections too. Ofc his cover was as a “consultant”.
Hey you old skeletonated rat...that’s what y’all do...identity politics...political correctness, and political eugenics...that’s it and that’s all...oh ...almost forgot another pillar of rat behavior...corruption...
“I have looked up the meaning of woke and wokeness, and STILL don’t understand it.”
Wokeness is the logical conclusion of postmodernist philosophy.
Postmodernist philosophy is a pretty simple concept and philosophy. It can be characterized by this statement: there are an unlimited number of ways to interpret the world, and all of them are equally valid and/or true.
I think most anyone with a modicum of critical thinking can see the problem with that. It is from this idea that our social malaise descends. Despite its name, it’s not a new idea. It traces all the way back to the Adversary himself in the garden of Eden.
It is among the devil’s oldest tricks, to confuse people and obfuscate the truth.
James... Biden isn’t steering the boat, so do you want to revise your conclusions?
The Dems declared total war on the American people a long time ago. Well before Trump coming along and smoking them out.
This looks like him too. (funny)
