From Vox, “Just look at how Democrats organize and spend money. For Christ’s sake, [South Carolina Democrat] Jaime Harrison raised over $100 million only to lose his Senate race to Lindsey Graham by 10 points. Amy McGrath runs for Senate in Kentucky and raises over $90 million only to get crushed by Mitch McConnell. They were always going to lose those races, but Democrats keep doing this stupid shit. They’re too damn emotional. Democrats obsess over high-profile races they can’t win because that’s where all the attention is. We’re addicted to hopeless causes. What about the secretary of state in Wisconsin? Or the attorney general race in Michigan? How much money are Democrats and progressives around the country sending to those candidates? I’m telling you, if Democrats are worried about voting rights and election integrity, then these are the sorts of races they should support and volunteer for, because this is where the action is and this is where things will be decided. You know who is paying attention to these races? The Republican Party. Last I checked, Republicans raised $33 million for secretary of state races around the country. The Democrats had until recently raised $1 million. I think it’s now up to $4 million. That’s the story, right there. That’s the difference, right there. Bitching about a Democratic senator in West Virginia is missing the damn plot [emphasis added].”
I love this man! If James Carville were a political party, then I would be all in. This man is the only Democrat who is not a dumbass and actually understands how to play the political game to win. It seems that most actual dumbass Democrats routinely ignore his perspective and sagacity. He actually gets it! In the words of Carville on Democrats, “Just quit being a whiny party and get out there and fight.” Sadly, he delivers the most sage advice to the least capable political party. Oh, well. Have I mentioned lately that were screwed? Welcome to stupid America.
