These kinds of guys are panicking like crazy because they're losing the argument and with it their paychecks.

James Carville is now threatening to sue David Hogg for funding primary challenges against Democrats, calling the Parkland shooting survivor a "contemptible little twerp."

Chris Cuomo added: "Sue his punk ass!"

Today is not the day to sue a Parkland survivor.
(If you haven’t seen the FSU news yet….)

They can't stand to be made irrelevant. It's really the bottom of why we're all suffering under the party leadership.

threekitties.bsky.social•64 days ago

I know I’M fucking sick and tired of the Democrats in Congress and Senate who rarely do anything to effect radical change which is what we NEED!

cdobs.bsky.social•64 days ago

Why are old people sucking so bad right now? As an older guy, I am truly disappointed.

knitvspurl.bsky.social•64 days ago

Carville needs to retire. His opinions are pay their expiration date.

knitvspurl.bsky.social•64 days ago

*past their expiration date.

I'm glad these neoliberal hacks are afraid

jarizona.bsky.social•63 days ago

Carville should just retire quietly and hang with his alligator friends.

ted.knaz.me•63 days ago

Who and who? Irrelevant flesh over there.

thepissedoldlady.bsky.social•64 days ago

These networks need to stop platforming Carville. He is so
narcissistic and just plain wrong most of the time. He's also also a misogynist. I can't stand to listen to him.

stashdragon.bsky.social•64 days ago

These are Republicans. Not Fascists like the actual Republican party. But they sure as hell are not Democrats. If anything they are capitalists which should be it's own party in America. They are not progressives.

kdelran.bsky.social•63 days ago

You got it right. They are fighting for visibility.

originalcynicus.bsky.social•64 days ago

The word Carville wants to say is "uppity".

greenmother.bsky.social•64 days ago

I’d be perfectly fine with never seeing or hearing from Carville or any of the Cuomos ever again.

vinosmax.bsky.social•64 days ago

Just a couple of thugs.

mycupoftealcsw.bsky.social•64 days ago

It's a radical thought, but...maybe, if the useless establishment dems hadn't been shitting the political bed years and/or weren't more focused on their stock portfolios than their actual public service jobs, we wouldn't have shove them so hard out the door.

joepatrice.bsky.social•64 days ago

But what will the Democrats do without leaders taking strong stands like… supporting Trump’s cabinet picks and advancing his budget?

fynnbytez.bsky.social•63 days ago

Having grown up in Colorado, hearing horror stories first hand, having seen a town hollow out after a shooting where I live, Carville can go fuck himself

Hogg and other Parkland students deserve reps that will represent them, this isn't hard you old, cankerous fuck.

It’s time to send JC and his buddy Chuck S off to become merely historical footnotes - the ones at the bottom of the page in future history books - stating “They completely lost it by screwing up democracy in the US”, isn’t it?

yogalibby.bsky.social•64 days ago

We deserve representation that is representative.

surfhopper.bsky.social•64 days ago

Carville is out of touch

drbutchermd.bsky.social•64 days ago

I'm not sure who decided that Carville was still relevant.

lisawp.bsky.social•64 days ago

Trying SO HARD to stay relevant.

mark-laustrup2024.bsky.social•64 days ago

Fuck the neolibs.

jaydeedouble.bsky.social•64 days ago

I mean I like me some Ragin’ Cajun… but look, we tried it his way last time, with Liz Cheney even.

It failed.

craigdodge.bsky.social•64 days ago

Look I know he was big in the Polk administration or whatever but why do they insist on listening to him?

ineptitudinous.bsky.social•64 days ago

51 days ago, Carville said, "At this rate, the Trump honeymoon will be over, best case, by Memorial Day but more likely in the next 30 days." I suppose there are still 39 days to go until Memorial Day.

williamsar.bsky.social•64 days ago

Enough time has passed that I can share how Carville was drunk pretty much the entire time he was in NH for an event before the primary. And we had to scour all of Manchester for Mardi Gras beads at his request. Basically, he's been off his rocker for a long time and shouldn't be taken seriously.

heathermcg.bsky.social•64 days ago

Carville is 80 years old. EIGHTY. I can’t remember the last time I saw him provide commentary that was insightful or productive. All he seems to do is butch and whine. 80 year olds can make great contributions to the debate … just not that one.

Literally just saw an MSNBC clip where David Hogg cautions against primarying incumbents? 🤔

bradykenda.bsky.social•64 days ago

He was talking about Democratic incumbants in red districts. He wants young progressives but doesn't want to risk losing seats in those risky areas.

jfhbrook.bsky.social•63 days ago

This clarifies a LOT - thank you 😅

tomenheimer.bsky.social•64 days ago

Carville should stick to making Fudgey the Whale cakes!! !

meidasherefornews.bsky.social•64 days ago

Carville and Cuomo are no longer relevant. Ignore them and move on.

rslott.bsky.social•64 days ago

Carville hasn’t been correct about anything is decades. I don’t understand why he won’t go away.

dsullivan238.bsky.social•64 days ago

I don't understand why anybody still listens to him.

todd-j-smith.bsky.social•64 days ago

So, the Jim Cramer of politics? 🙂

lakerjones.bsky.social•64 days ago

But you don’t understand: he said “it’s the economy stupid” once in the 90’s so that means he’s the voice of the party forever

alexanderchee.bsky.social•63 days ago

I don’t think you can sue for relevance.

The man hasn’t been part of a winning campaign this CENTURY. I’d advise him to retire, but Mary Matlin probably locked him out of the house years ago

americantype.bsky.social•64 days ago

There is a PhD to be written examining just how Carville has remained the go to establishment Dem strategy guy, despite only winning something over thirty years ago.

zenmuppet.bsky.social•64 days ago

The same people who go to him think Bill Maher is a liberal.

rosemaryd52.bsky.social•64 days ago

General comment not related to the David Hogg issue. From one baby boomer to another even older one: James Carville, step down and get out of the way.

cdeblock.bsky.social•64 days ago

It's possible to think that Carville and Cuomo are useless and to also believe that David Hogg has nothing substantial to offer the Democratic Party at the same time.

That's where I am, at least.

pixelsand8.bsky.social•64 days ago

Isn't skelator married to a Republican? That alone should be enough to get you sent into the gulags.

Most disgusting thing I have read in a year🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

redshiftsinger.bsky.social•64 days ago

Sue him for what, donating to politicians of his choice?

Last I checked, he’s an adult who has the right to do what he wants with his own money.

jscottcory.bsky.social•64 days ago

If Carville and Cuomo are both pissed off at something you've done, you're doing it right. #change.

jobianday.bsky.social•64 days ago

Tell me you shouldn't be helping to lead a party of the future without directly saying it James..

erikgehring.bsky.social•64 days ago

I just donated to the "contemptible little twerp" and Leaders We Deserve so we can elect better Dems across the board, and hopefully never have to hear from Carville again. You can donate too at https://leaderswedeserve.com

bradykenda.bsky.social•64 days ago

Donated!

hpgd.bsky.social•64 days ago

You can never be wrong with Chris Cuomo on your side.

feemus.bsky.social•64 days ago

Their paychecks are stored in their chipmunk cheeks. They don’t care if they lose the argument, they just keep going.

nullinterface.bsky.social•64 days ago

Reminded that The Intercept wrote an excoriating piece circa late 2016 detailing how the DNC was little more than a clearinghouse for preferred political consultants

justanotherant.bsky.social•64 days ago

I wish I got paid as much as an establishment Democratic consultant to be wrong most of the time.
All these years I've been doing it for free.
(For real tho, if they were as smart as they claim to be, they would have been screaming bloody murder about GOP court packing every day since Bush v. Gore.)

mikepipper.bsky.social•63 days ago

For fucks sake, James, go like... Fish or something. I'm tired of hearing your dusty ass voice.

maiett.bsky.social•64 days ago

Absolutely. The entire Democratic consultantura makes its living preserving the status quo distribution of power & wealth at any cost, including democracy's end. Upstarts like Hogg are literally our only hope.

craighillman.bsky.social•64 days ago

Ragin' Cajun, finger on the pulse since 1972

bluewraethpdx.bsky.social•64 days ago

The old guard on either side will not go down without a fight. They will hold onto power as long as possible...

yankeeluke.bsky.social•64 days ago

We won’t be satisfied until all of these cretins are rooted out and the Party is returned to us the grassroots. Screw Carville, screw the Cuomos, screw Jeffries, screw Schumer, screw Clyburn, screw em all!

jedleonard.bsky.social•63 days ago

What does he need with a paycheck? He's been making DC analyst money for decades, and he's got 20 years left in the tank if we're *extremely* optimistic.

He's in it for the love of the game. Which is unfortunate, because he's really, really bad at the game.

ortenb.bsky.social•64 days ago

Please get out of the new road if you can’t lend a hand, for the times, they are a-changin’

pensar.bsky.social•63 days ago

If Carville still needs the paycheck…

fragmentary.bsky.social•64 days ago

Cannot understand why anybody listens to these fools anymore

scooterbones.bsky.social•64 days ago

Watch the rest of the Party line up behind this. They're already backing Cuomo for mayor.

kaikronfield.bsky.social•64 days ago

If James Carville hasn't invested enough of his decades of bloated paychecks to be just obscenely loaded by this point, that's on him. He just seeks (and is for some reason given) relevance.

julieb21.bsky.social•64 days ago

mkennedymartin.bsky.social•64 days ago

Carville has been a useless idiot for a while. Now he is a dangerous idiot. Primary all their asses. Vote for the candidates who are willing to fight to keep our republican democracy, regardless of ideology

bradykenda.bsky.social•64 days ago

Initially Carville said "The Dems should do nothing about tRump and Muck. Just leave them" That has gone so well hasn't it?
Hogg wants to replace the Schumers, the do nothing Dems with young energetic blood. He does not want to replace the Cory Bookers of congress. He's right

laurenbrose.bsky.social•64 days ago

would rather see the entire country burn to the ground than step aside for a young competent democratic leader smh

deathshead419.bsky.social•64 days ago

It finally hit me what's going on here: we don't have a House of Lords so once prominent assholes like Carville get sinecure jobs blabbering on TV instead.

tpasinet.bsky.social•64 days ago

Everyone knows the best way to win over voters is to sue away any choice they might have.

They don’t want to be successfully achieving a better country that serves its taxpayers. They just want the clout and a pension. Bye.

pensivetoker.bsky.social•64 days ago

Dear Mr. Carville,

Thank you for your service.

We have some lovely parting gifts.

Sit down.
Shut up.

thesharkpianist.bsky.social•64 days ago

James Carville thinks it's a bad idea - so it's probably a good one.

gregory-c-leavitt.bsky.social•64 days ago

James Carville and his ilk are why Americans can’t afford to go to the dentist. He needs an ass whupping… preferably from David Hogg.

ottersimple.bsky.social•64 days ago

I cannot think of anything more Establishment Democrat than suing a survivor of a school shooting for daring to win a fair election and setting policy.

pdawkins.bsky.social•64 days ago

The consultant class mobilizing to protect their checks and thus their relevance was always going to get ugly in a hurry. Their fear is delicious.

jonsurgi.bsky.social•64 days ago

Fuck offffffffff.

What a useless man. Time to accept that your way didn't work. You really messed up. Time to retire.

Remember this? That was you.

billshea19.bsky.social•64 days ago

*This* is the calcified centrist Establishment Democratic Party that needs the Old Yeller treatment so something better can replace it. It's always 1992/96 for these antiques.

paulaptb.bsky.social•64 days ago

Neither of them need the money. They are both worth millions and would live quite comfortably if they never earned another penny. I think we have to conclude they are in it for power. Or they believe their own bs.

Oh no, do rich old leathery numpties need to keep making mansion mortgage payments?

I hope they lose everything

Yep, will do anything to cling to power. It’s time for them to step aside. Past time. I stand with @davidhogg.bsky.social
