Veteran Democrat strategist James Carville is proving that old saying about how even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Carville wrote an opinion piece for the New York Times over the weekend that described his own party as a ‘cracked-out clown car.’ Who could possibly disagree with his assessment?
A recent poll found that the approval rating for Democrats in Congress is now a measly 19 percent. The party just nominated a communist for mayor of New York City. They have no leader, no message, and offer no ideas to the American people.
For once, Carville is right.
His piece is behind a paywall, but there are details at The Hill:
Carville: Democratic Party ‘a cracked-out clown car’
Democratic strategist James Carville said in a new opinion piece for The New York Times that the current Democratic Party is “a cracked-out clown car.”
“Constipated. Leaderless. Confused. A cracked-out clown car. Divided. These are the words I hear my fellow Democrats using to describe our party as of late. The truth is they’re not wrong: The Democratic Party is in shambles,” Carville said in the Times piece released Monday.
Carville pointed to the recent clinching of the Democratic nomination for New York City mayor by Zohran Mamdani, which shocked many political observers, saying it “wasn’t an isolated event.”
“It represents an undeniable fissure in our political soul. We are divided along generational lines: Candidates like Mr. Mamdani are impatient for an economic future that folks my age are skeptical can be delivered,” Carville added.
“We are divided along ideological lines: A party that is historically allegiant to the state of Israel is at odds with a growing faction that will not look past the abuses in Gaza and the West Bank,” he continued. “From Medicare for All purists to Affordable Care Act reformists, the list goes on and on.”
The list does go on and on, Mr. Carville. You’re right.
We will leave you with this astute observation:
The biggest problem the Democrats face is their base is completely insane.
