“Preachy females” is not a slip of the tongue - it reveals a fundamentally sexist, reactionary sensibility that undoubtedly shapes everything Carville has to say about the world.
And yet, ostensibly liberal media keep presenting this old crank as an oracle whose wisdom we are blessed to receive.

Wow, I had missed this: “James Carville keeps repeating the charge that ‘preachy females’ are the problem and Democratic messaging comes across as ‘too feminine.’” Way past time to retire these guys and find new, less awful strategists. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/20/o...

It’s an indictment of the state of liberal / progressive politics that there is such an appetite for this.
As to "liberal", that is a word whose only functional meaning is "enemy of Republicans."
Not all repubs are racists, but all racists are Repubs
well..
Not all Dems are progressives, but all libs & progressives are stuck w/ being a Dem (3rd party candidates are irrelevant for now)
Ah, quoting the old "Kang/Kodos" argument, I see.
I prefer Ursula...

Look around, they've already begun capitulating (AOC) and offering collaboration (Fetterman). Empty Promises is all you'll get
Old dude is overweight? he's successful
Old woman is overweight? she's unattractive
dude gets assertive? he's a powerful force
woman gets assertive? she's a bitch (or worse)
dude wears the same suit? he's too busy btw it's a new shirt
woman ...? 😲😲😲
& now, Dems need to ALSO figure out how to get the Black vote support for 2026 on. They're rightfully PISSED!
MSM totally (intentionally?) disregarded this demographic even w ample time (~2016 -date) to dive into what was coming from the pulpits.
They need to look at Iran post 1957 coup to understand our zealots.
No woman will be surprised by this.
I’m truly pissed. The party must change.
