Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville said he would rather see Republicans keep control of the House by five seats than watch Democrats win the chamber by the same margin, warning that a “nightmare” razor-thin majority would leave party leaders “hostage to the DSA.”

    Carville is such a dumb old fuck. If it weren’t for “veteran Democratic strategists” like this fucker, we wouldn’t have half the problems we do.

    He’s just fear mongering anyway…

    as it stands now there is about a 1-in-4 to 1-in-3 chance the majority is thin enough that DSA is the actual tipping faction. Projections have the Dems winning 11-17 over the 218 line.

    As always it’s more complicated then indicated. Nuances about agendas, caucusing, defection, rules, and more.

    Fuck James Carville, his southern drawl crypt keeper ass. He’s one of the people that has been taking jabs at progressive Dems. He’s helping nobody but his wallet.

    What in the actual fuck. I think his brain is is turning to mush.

    Being “hostage” to the DSA would be worse than being hostage to the Nazis?

    This is why it’s critical for dems to win as many seats as possible. We desperately need to move left and votes are more important than ever

    Carville needs to lay off the whisky. Sad truth is he’s long been a Third Way DINO who helped get us to this situation in the first place.

    Guy’s too lazy to actually persuade or change where people are but instead hides just how actually conservative he is and thinks we should just continuously cater to the blind, as if that has no repercussions.

    Anyways, what he’s really saying is “Trump isn’t so bad.” Fucking nuts.

    I would hope he is next on the trump cross hair, but he’s an old white man, and likely safe for a while.
