Advice from James Carville

[anamnua]

(who masterminded Bill Clinton's two successful presidential campaigns):
With no clear leader to voice our opposition and no control in any branch of government, it’s time for Democrats to embark on the most daring political maneuver in the history of our party: roll over and play dead. Allow the Republicans to crumble beneath their own weight, and make the American people miss us. Only until the Trump administration has spiraled into the low 40s or high 30s in public approval polling percentages should we make like a pack of hyenas and go for the jugular.

1. Sorry, James, that's bullshit.

[Diamond_Dog]

2. No way.

[FoxNewsSucks]

3. Jesus fucking CHRIST!!! That may be one of the stupidest

things I've ever heard.

Yeah, roll over, shut up, and let the other side control all the messaging. Who is paying him, anyway????

The corporate media is bad enough without Democrats giving up completely, how the hell does he think "the American people" will ever know who they should miss????

4. You were relevant in the last millenium, jimmy. Now just shut up and

go fishing, or whatever that hat indicates.

5. His approval's at 43 now and we can't wait much longer.

But it might be down to the high 30's by the weekend at this rate.

6. Schumer

I guess Carville and Schumer are reading from the same playbook

7. wrong - on at least a couple different levels

But Carville has been at least consistent in pushing this 'passive aggressive' nostrum.

(there really isn't any question that Ds don't have any significant levers or power right at the moment - but that doesn't preclude us from highlighting gross INSANITY as it rears its head - and contrasting that against what 'responsible' policy and government looks like ... "Remember not so long ago ... When people actually thought that school children were worth investing in - and those that lived in crumbling areas, might actually deserve a break .. ?" )

8. Asinine.

9. Proves he is absolutely clueless about where we are

as a country or what people want. No one will vote for a Dem if we lay down and play dead now. They will never trust us again… and they shouldn’t.

[Skittles]

10. easy for a person of means to say

terrifying to the folk who will be severely harmed by these fascist fucks

[MayReasonRule]

11. Wholly Disagree

Lame

12. We don't need your advice, Carville.

You're wasting valuable time in which you should be fucking yourself.

13. Is he a hard drinker? If so, his brain might be soaked with alcohol so long it's not working right.

It takes a while to recover I guess.....

14. Of course he would say this. What a coward.
