Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

God I wish I could be like her when facing idiots.
... Everything you’re doing is destroying the planet. You’ve got to eat your peas.
Dude is in his 70s and still acts like his mom is literally Satan for saying he has to eat his peas. That's some real snowflake shit.
He's always been a piece of shit.
Not only that, he's from the south and he's never heard of pea salad?
I’m from the south and haven’t heard of whatever that monstrosity is either tbf.
Pea salad sounds like some midwest bullshit.
Full quote. Yikes.
“A suspicion of mine is that there are too many preachy females … ‘Don’t drink beer, don’t watch football, don’t eat hamburgers, this is not good for you,'” he said. “The message is too feminine: ‘Everything you’re doing is destroying the planet. You’ve got to eat your peas.'”
Who the fuck is telling him this shit? I feel like he's sitting in his room scripting whatever will cause him the most outrage because no one embedded in normal society is getting told this shit.
Also, James Carville should eat his goddamn peas, he looks like a fucking zombie. Like if the Crypt Keeper's dad died and was dug up 70 years from now and then offered some peas.

Are we sure he’s not talking about his care facility nurse whose reminding him to eat healthier?

Sounds like another whiney ass boomer that is pissed a woman is talking.
Sounds like the cornerstone of the centrist movement once again triangulating between the worst of the Republican party and the meekest Democrat. I don't know why anyone expected him to stop.
Always has
I hate this little worm. Bring on the 'PREACHY FEMALE' shirts!
79 year old turd has thoughts about the modern world. Le shock
79 year old turd
Coprolite!
Projection.
Carville is the preachiest bitch of them all.
Can't wait for history to be rid of his FILTH.
Old man wearing diaper goes full baby mode.
The only problem with the Democratic Party is that not only is it run by geriatrics who are out of touch, all their advisors are also geriatrics who are out of touch.
I mean, when people say “both parties are the same” they are correct in this particular metric. We need term limits and younger representation.
"Grumpy old man yells at the sky."
What the fuck
Before he said something weird on a podcast a few weeks ago, I hadn't thought about James Carville since 32 years ago when he was active in politics in a nontrivial capacity. But now that I take a look at him again I am impressed by the strangeness of him. Among other things, he came out swinging against Barack Obama as a presidential candidate and attacked people who supported him, he wanted to "jettison" the Democratic primaries and caucuses and let Nancy Pelosi pick all the candidates, and his international résumé is interesting reading. He's just an all-around very weird guy it sounds like.
Just another lead addled boomer. They will be the death of us all.

Yes, James Carville is a centrist Democrat.
Yeah. It's actually pretty instructive to look at his example to see how far the party has moved left since Clinton. He used to be squarely in the mainstream of Democratic politics, then he was shocked and outraged by Obama (and showed for whatever reason an unerring instinct to gravitate to the worst candidates available, Pelosi and Hilary being two good examples), and now Biden's doing a bunch of things that would have been unthinkable even for Obama, so a one-time Democratic king maker is now on the far outskirts raging against the whole dominant culture of the Democratic party as it currently exists.
Carville doesn't want primaries because he's a centrist Democrat. Neat deflection.
Well, this a great example for the ESL guy wondering if "Females" is offensive.

Looks like I'll be the first to say it...
Is he OK? Seriously, has anyone checked in on him and made sure he's not, you know, stuck in a chair somewhere?
I'd be worried he had a stroke or something...
It's Carville, so I don't know if he's off his meds and letting his inner misogynist ooze out, or if he's doing a desperate edgelord imitation to attempt to escape obsolescence.
How amusing. A preachy male is trying dominate a culture with no point other than complaining that women talked about issues. WTF is the call to action supposed to be here, just steam and be a fucking baby like this man?
And just like that, centrists have to pretend that they don't still love James Carville.
Oh look, another "political strategist" who literally looks like a reanimated corpse talking shit.
I've always hated this asshat. He's always seemed like a guy trying to run a football game instead of having a platform based in policy.
He never spends his time on TV talking about an issue that matters. It's just whatever bullshit talking point of the day on the news which will be promptly forgotten about the next. He's Newt Gingrich dressed blue... Okay, maybe not the satan shitpile Newt Gingrich is, but I hate when people are dying and windbags like this are going on about Iowa straw polls.
Who gives a damn what Puskatawnee Phil says about the election; our future generation is fucked if we dont nail down climate change, the economy which is based on exponential growth and the whole slavery thing thats still alive and well and everyone is worse off for it...
Hell, child labor laws are being repealed and women are being jailed for having a miscarriage. But tell me again how so-and-so shoulda spent more time campaigning in that county because its a purple county in a swing state instead of, I dunno doing what won Bill Clinton the Election... Carville's one big win. He talked about the economy and healthcare after Bush Senior had trashed it by sending us to war in Iraq to try to clean up the mess he made when he was head of the CIA... I hate politics
LOL talk about projection.
It’s fucking James Carville. What did you think the thought?
His episode on 30 Rock was hilarious though.
Goodbye Jimmy!
