Carville blames "stupid wokeness" for Democratic losses

Democratic political strategist James Carville blamed his party's recent losses and weak performance in state elections on "stupid wokeness" on Wednesday.

"PBS NewsHour" host Judy Woodruff asked Carville what went wrong for the Democratic Party in the Virginia gubernatorial race in which Republican Glenn Youngkin beat former Gov. Terry McAuliffe.

"What went wrong is just stupid wokeness. Don't just look at Virginia and New Jersey. Look at Long Island, look at Buffalo, look at Minneapolis, even look at Seattle, Wash. I mean this 'defund the police' lunacy, this take Abraham Lincoln's name off schools. I mean that-people see that," Carville said.

"It's just really--has a suppressive effect all across the country on Democrats. Some of these people need to go to a 'woke' detox center or something," he added. "They're expressing a language that people don't use, and there's backlash and a frustration at that."

Democratic New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy narrowly eked out a reelection victory on Wednesday, another indication of Democrats diminishing strength in state elections.

Carville said that suburbanites in Virginia and New Jersey "pulled away" from such "wokeness". He pointed out that Youngkin never ran any ads against President Biden and suggested that the Republican candidate had simply allowed the Democrats to "pull the pin and watch the grenade go off."...

Anyone hear from AOC today? :-)


She may be on suicide watch. Hopefully incarcerated and within reach of a very large pair of scissors.

Could it be that more people are getting fed up with the socialists trying to run this country into the ground? Well, just a thought.

The SF Giants have 2 Brandons(Crawford + Belt). Should the Bay Area be cheering them on when there are runners on base? I’m talkin’ next summer-especially September.

Dear Rat Leaders: Carville is wrong and you are right. You just haven’t pushed your programs aggressively enough to make the idiot populace realize that your agenda is good for them. Push harder

I learned a new word today.

Carville is a dupe of the cisheteropatriarchy!

He’s saying that “woke” people are a few fries short of a Happy Meal and that Democrats are afraid to confront the problem.

It's what a party becomes when they allow stupid evil people like those in "the squad" and Corey Bush to run amok.

Drag a $100 bill through a college faculty lounge and you never know what you’ll come up with.

The nickname "SerpentHead" was given to him by his Republican wife, Mary Matalin.

Close, but actually AG Garland was Repubs greatest ally, unleashing the FIB G-men on the moms at the school board meeting.

Smooth move, Merrick.

He’s right, people are sick of the stuff.

That’s why Trump won in a landslide in 2020, and the Republicans took control of the House, and maintained control of the Senate.

But the Uniparty stole it. And the Republicans were willing to lose control of the House and the Senate, in order to get rid of Trump, and render themselves powerless to stop Biden’s agenda.

Trump’s massive appeal to Republican voters leaves the Uniparty with few options. So they are forced to bet everything on letting Biden and the Dems go down like the Hindenberg, and trying to somehow convince Trump voters not to blow this golden opportunity to win over Trump hating soccer moms.
