James Carville bashes MSNBC and Twitter liberals for being too extreme on social justice

Man, James Carville has been on a tear lately. He is absolutely ripping into the Democrats for putting too much focus on the twitter progressives, and he snaps at the MSNBC host in this clip for disagreeing with him.

Wow. He’s pissed. I think he sees the same thing that Chris Matthews sees. The Democrats are focusing way too much on social justice, and they’re gonna lose the vote of the common American who doesn’t reside in big cities. And if they do that, they’re gonna loooose very badly.

He’s really been ripping into the Democrats over this issue, and the Bernie progressives are really angry about it. Here’s more:

He said during that interview:

“Eighteen percent of the population controls 52 Senate seats,” Carville said. “We’ve got to be a majoritarian party. The urban core is not gonna get it done. What we need is power! Do you understand? That’s what this is about.”

AND then he went off with Vox too:

I’ll just say it this way: The fate of the world depends on the Democrats getting their shit together and winning in November. We have to beat Trump. And so far, I don’t like what I see. And a lot of people I talk to feel the same way.

And…

We just had an election in 2018. We did great. We talked about everything we needed to talk about, and we won. And now it’s like we’re losing our damn minds. Someone’s got to step their game up here.

Also:

We have candidates on the debate stage talking about open borders and decriminalizing illegal immigration. They’re talking about doing away with nuclear energy and fracking. You’ve got Bernie Sanders talking about letting criminals and terrorists vote from jail cells. It doesn’t matter what you think about any of that, or if there are good arguments — talking about that is not how you win a national election. It’s not how you become a majoritarian party.

For fuck’s sake, we’ve got Trump at Davos talking about cutting Medicare and no one in the party has the sense to plaster a picture of him up there sucking up to the global elites, talking about cutting taxes for them while he’s talking about cutting Medicare back home. Jesus, this is so obvious and so easy and I don’t see any of the candidates taking advantage of it.

The Republicans have destroyed their party and turned it into a personality cult, but if anyone thinks they can’t win, they’re out of their damn minds.

And finally:

By framing, repeating, and delivering a coherent, meaningful message that is relevant to people’s lives and having the political skill not to be sucked into every rabbit hole that somebody puts in front of you.

The Democratic Party is the party of African Americans. It’s becoming a party of educated suburbanites, particularly women. It’s the party of Latinos. We’re a party of immigrants. Most of the people aren’t into all this distracting shit about open borders and letting prisoners vote. They don’t care. They have lives to lead. They have kids. They have parents that are sick. That’s what we have to talk about. That’s all we should talk about.

It’s not that this stuff doesn’t matter. And it’s not that we shouldn’t talk about race. We have to talk about race. It’s about how you deliver and frame the message. I thought Cory Booker’s “baby bonds” plan was great and the kind of thing the party could connect to people’s actual lives.

We have one moral imperative here, and that’s beating Trump. Nothing else matters.

I think he’s right. If they get stuck in rabbit holes of social justice they’re gonna lose to Trump badly. He’s smart enough to talk about things that really matter to the most of Americans, while Liz Warren is talking about transgender teens picking cabinet officials and Bernie is screaming about millionaires and billionaires.
