Said James Carville, quoted in the Maureen Dowd column, "James Carville, the Cajun Who Can’t Stop Ragin’" (NYT).
ADDED: The quote above followed the observation by Dowd that "Lately, [Carville] has been obsessed with Biden bleeding Black male voters."
Oddly enough, the very next thing I saw was this clip from the new episode of Bill Maher's show, where he's advising Democrats to give up racial politics:
That isn't any sort of lofty philosophy. The point is that race consciousness is not working this year. Donald Trump is gaining in popularity with black men, and something must be done. There's no sincere embrace of "colorblindness," though Maher puts on a hammy show of it.
Bill Maher Shocks Democrats With 7-Minute Plea to Stop ‘Racial Pandering’
— The Vigilant Fox 🦊 (@VigilantFox) March 23, 2024

It's funny that Carville's remarks were much more about sex than race. You can tell Carville wants old-time maleness to regain dominance and he's irked by the femaleness of the Democrats. He needs black men in his party, but his idea of how to get them is to make the Democratic Party masculine again.

Gays too. Don't forget gays. Lots of them. The modern democratic party is an alliance between suburban wine Beckies and homosexual hangers-on...or maybe the wine Beckies are the hangers-on. It's so confusing figuring out which femmes are the ones fucking and which ones are being fucked, ya know?
Betcha they have the same problem too.
My suspicion is that Carville is choosing his words carefully. Women have given the Democratic Party the power it needed to set the country on its current path to destruction. Carville has gotten to cash a lot of big checks from the process.
Note that Carville is cavilling at the tone of Democratic Party messaging, and of course not raising questions about the actual substance. He would never challenge the left on its absurd overspending, destructive immigration policies, the stoking of ethnic and gender grievance, the valorization of homosexuality and transgenderism, the demoralization (in both senses) of the middle class, etc. etc.
And this guy pretends to be a brave independent voice.
Boys-versus-girls politics took over the Democrats versus Republicans by the Clinton Administration. This followed from "I feel your pain" and efforts to goose Black female and anxious pro-abortion female voters. "Soccer mom's will win the election..."
The all-female all the time strategy reached a logical, ingrown conclusion when the Party sacrificed females on the altar of transgender male dominance. Blind (stereotypical) female compassion indeed leads to self-destructive gifts to those who need to be called out and who should not have gifts (career shoplifters, race grifters, criminal immigrants, passive-aggressive transgendered males, child molesters, etc.).
And now JK Rowling is the left's enemy...
It is interesting that Carville goes there. Many of the problems that our country and the world are having right now is the empowerment of Karen.
Women who do nothing but whine and nag have been given positions of power in Government Bureaucracy, Corporate HR departments, University Administration, and k-12 education.
They do nothing productive for society and they are given status and wealth to nag productive people. With the ability to vote they have support in government and they are given more status and more power.
The ability to vote needs to be restricted to people who meaningfully contribute to society.
Not to worry, the Democrats are simply buying Republican resignations from the House, so it's not like elections matter.
First the Republicans kicked out Santos, when we didn't have to, then Ken Buck resigned and now Mike Gallegher, they are buying resignations, and if they get enough of them, they will simply buy the House prior to the election. Or at least prior to certification of Trump's election, should he win, where they will then refuse to seat him as President, based on their psy op on J6. Ken Buck said that there would be 3-5 more resignations coming, and here is one.
his idea of how to get them is to make the Democratic Party masculine again.
It’s a sound approach. It’s not just men who get turned off by over-feminization. A lot of women don’t like it either. The real voice of the Democratic Party may billionaires and giant corporations, but their public face is over-educated under-employed “skinny fat” kids with blue or pink hair. It’s not a look that’s going to attract a person with any kind of dignity.
The simple solution is for a lot of men to become women in a targeted way. That is, they don't, let us say, give up (choke) anything (cough, cough) but they do announce a new identity. That's all that's needed these days. Then, as women, they claim football, hamburgers and beer as the new normal for women. In a short while, the old normal will be the new normal but improved by a new, purer identitarian additive. But what will happen to women-women? We still will do just what we want while pretending we now love pick-up football and can't wait to get out there. It will work because we won't be wanted where we don't want to go and we won't go there and no one will miss us. "Sorry, I can't make it to the pickup game today, I'm going shopping. Next time." "sure, sure." So Women-women will be OK. Indentitarian feminists will be knocked flat and stepped on until they grasp fundamental and self-evident facts which I am not going to specify. It's a little sad to think of them during their learning process but the present child mutilation spree which identitarian feminists support is pretty sad, too.
"He [Carville] needs black men in his party, but his idea of how to get them is to make the Democratic Party masculine again.
No need to go that far, really. His party just needs to jettison its anti-masculine biases. They're obvious to all those men who can't afford a subscription to The Atlantic....
Donning Kente cloth isn't about winning over black voters- especially not black men- it's about winning over white women.
TRIGGER WARNING TRIGGER WARNING
Article contains words referring o human blood!!
The issue for the donks isn't that they are too female. The issue is that they're a bunch of scolds and scheming student council suck-up types. Trump infuriates Democrats and their acolytes because he doesn't give a shit what they think and he encourages his acolytes to feel the same way.
".... bleeding Black male voters."
LOL, imagine how this would be reported and edited if Trump said it
I’m fine with Democrats alienating any and everyone they care to alienate….
Carville has point. The part about females dominating Dem politics resonates. But “men do matter” comes the inevitable retort.
This reminds me of the “Black Lives Matter” vs. “All Lives Matter” question which surfaced in a 2016 debate. Hillary made sure answer correctly: Black Lives Matter, not “All Lives Matter”. Remember that? Same level of offensiveness.

Thats the party you signed up with serpenthead
Female hatred of Trump is key for the Dems; along with massive cheating.
That's why George S. called Trump a rapist 12 times on national TV. That's why the Dems funded EJ's lawsuit.
“Or at least prior to certification of Trump's election, should he win, where they will then refuse to seat him as President, based on their psy op on J6.”
Tell me exactly how this is supposed to work? The newly elected Congress is sworn in on January 3. Certification takes place on January 6, so it doesn’t matter who controls this present Congress since they won’t be certifying.

Hey Jimmy, lotsa luck with that.
Liberal white women have destroyed the country because weak white men have let them.

People are starting to realize the root of the problems our country face.
Our corporations stopped trying to go to the moon or solve real problems after the internet was developed. All of the wealth moved into Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Facebook.
Social media and shopping.
Women have been given status and wealth through Government Bureaucracy, Corporate HR departments, University Administration, and K-12 education.
All of this wealth is now directed to things women find important. Socialization and shopping.
The anger directed at Musk and his companies is because he is doing things that men want done.
There is a meme about women complaining men don't have feelings because they didn't cry when Decaprio drowned. But we can confirm men have feelings because we did cry when Starship made it to orbit.
You can argue about priorities.
In my opinion though the world is better when the priorities align to exploration and invention rather than cat pictures and tik tok dancing.

No, the problem in the House Republican caucus is that the tRump Swab caucus are more interested in social media hits then they are at governing. When your only lever is a slim majority in one house of Congress you are not going to get everything you want. Sometimes settling for 50% is a victory.
I swear, idiots like MTG & Gaetz would prefer to be in the minority so they don’t have to actually govern.

It isn't about liberal or conservative. It is about women who seek pair bonding relationships vs. women who seek dominant male/harem breeding regimes.
About 30-40% of women seek pair bonding. 60-70% of women seek dominant male/harem relationships.
Women who pair bond stay in relationships and raise children with fathers around.
304's get knocked up and either suck the life out of men financially or depend on the state and raise more 304's.
Pair Bonding is obviously more conducive to a free high trust society. But women biologically are driven to act like 304s.
When the dominant breeding paradigm is pair bonding more men are involved in having and raising children. When the 304's take over and do their 304 thing about 20% of males have children and most do not participate in raising the children.
The problem is allowing 304s and the 20% of male 304s to vote and dominate society. Our government has been pushing the harem breeding regime to tear our society apart for a long time in many different ways.
There has been a progressive war on men for over 30 years.
It will be interesting to see what happens when white college men who want a future in politics understand and all become Republican.
So says the Bay Area cubical jockey tech geek living the progressive dream.

If “The Talking Skull” is right then those preachy females do not much care about the challenges facing young women in the 21st century. We can presume that the preachy females do not use a gym very much, or else they’d have more appreciation for the plight of young women forced to share showers with biological males, and forced to sit there and take it when a biological male flippantly says he’s trans, then literally waves his penis in their face. Evidently the preachy females don’t go jogging, or perhaps they’d have more sympathy for Laken Riley, more empathy for the people who knew her and miss her, and more willingness to deport criminals who are here illegally. And it seems crazy that these preachy females fought so hard for Title IX, but shrug when the first place medals and trophies go to second or third-tier biological male athletes.
And no Democrat female, preachy or otherwise, seems to care much about the plight of female prisoners forced to share their cell with a biological male (who may even be behind bars on a charge of rape).
Shorter Carville: More Bill, less Hillary.
And maybe Carville has a point. Consider, Bill was a winner. Hillary, not so much. Bill would probably have trounced Trump in 2016. Trump wouldn't even have been able to gain the nomination because there'd have been no abandoned working-class vote looking for a new champion. Bill would never have been so foolish as to abandon the working-class and certainly would not have disparaged and despised them. Bill felt your pain. Hillary laughs at your pain. Bill brought lots of male energy to the Dem party and the Dem women loved him and wanted to service him.
So tokenism at the top of the party is wearing thin?
The biggest awakening comes from how the party treats illegal immigrants versus the people who’ve voted for it for decades.
Their side of the bread is the one being unbuttered.

I see Rafe noted this above but I think it bears repeating that the Congress which will certify the Electoral College on 6 January 2025 is the one sworn in on 3 January 2025 composed of the members elected on 5 November 2024, plus Senators still serving. The resignations conceivable could impact the outcome of elections but won't have the direct impact on the composition of the House in 2025 that is implied.
==================
Steve Hayward has noted that you could just as easily describe the 'gender gap' as too few men voting for Democrats as too few women voting for Republicans. If I recall correctly the difference is almost entirely due to the percentage of unmarried women who vote Democrat since married women are much more evenly divided between the two parties.
Althouse writes, "You can tell Carville wants old-time maleness to regain dominance and he's irked by the femaleness of the Democrats. He needs black men in his party, but his idea of how to get them is to make the Democratic Party masculine again."
And so he should be. Why? California.
Senator Karen will be very upset with James.
Carville and Maher are both, in their different ways, talking about what's not working for Dems -- what's driving away the voters the Dems need. The point is that a voter's political identity is often more a function of what the voter is against than what he's for. That's one of Trump's strengths -- he's quite clear at communicating what he's against (illegals, crime/defund the police, race quotas, PC/woke, etc.) and his MAGA rallies really drive the point home. What Trump is for comes down to stopping what he's against. Same with so many MAGA candidates (Kari Lake and JDVance come to mind). The Biden/Dems have a problem responding to that or in communicating what they're against (MAGA mostly) and what they're for (abortion seems to be top of the list at election time, which must drive Carville crazy).
That was a great clip from Bill Maher's show. I still don't watch his show, but I really appreciate you posting some of his more thought-provoking and very funny parts. Thanks.
"Tell me exactly how this is supposed to work?"
They take over the majority during the lame duck, then pass a law written to exclude Trump based on some criteria that can actually be proven, such as "encouraged insurrection, even by the most tenuously indirect means, and even if the insurrection had no possible chance of success" and the 14th Amendment. Sort of like the democrats convicted him of "rape" by telling the jury that even an unwanted "peck on the cheek" counted.
I do like how you guys do keep me honest when I make mistakes. Your silence most of the time is pretty telling.
Oh, and BTW, Gallagher is not making his resignation official until after it becomes impossible to have a special election.
What we have is a so-called Left that's contemptuous of the workers and the farmers. Marx would not approve.
I wonder how much the Black Women pursuing dubious vengeance via lawfare against Trump elicits sympathy from Black Men.

The current Congress will declare Trump an "insurrectionist" and not eligible to be certified as President even if he should be elected. Easy Peasy!
The future is a female finger wagging in your face, chastising you, forever.
Carville is married to a woman who once picked her toes in open sandals on a political talking head show.
Carville is an old school political brawler/consultant type. He'll say or do, or have his candidate say or do whatever it takes to win an election. And he's looking at Joe Biden, the Biden Posse, and the Obama hand behind the curtain--and all their acolytes and sycophants in the press--and he doesn't like what he's seeing now. So Carville says something.
I hope his clients don't listen.
I watched the clip. People kept laughing, but I didn't hear anything funny, original or insightful. (Although, I think there was more applause than laughter, so I'm hopeful that most were clapping because they felt they should rather than they thought it was humorous.) Perhaps some of his comments were news to the people who get their news from late night talk shows.
I will give him credit for recognizing the problem.
People are going to be pissed when they realize they have been betrayed by the party they've been loyal to for years. Blue collar jobs are being lost to "newcomers". Women are losing the privacy of their spaces to men who identify as women. Anti-semitism is on the rise and seems to be tacitly (and sometimes openly) endorsed by many in our government.
You'd think that a Democrat Party dominated by women would be the party of civilization. Instead, it's the party of barbarism. They love criminals and disdain victims. Their solution for the homeless druggie vagrants is to supply housing rather than drug treatment. They want unlimited illegal barbarians crossing our borders while never wanting to deport illegal barbarian criminals. They want gun confiscation which puts women at risk from criminals. Democrats support free love so women are at a higher risk for pregnancy and become a cash cow for Planned Parenthood.
Liberal women do have a tendency to embrace the fake-gender ideology, which puts their kids at risk for sterility.
Democrats have done everything they can to undermine civilization.

Another win for Boyd. Everyone remember "It's her turn"? Hillary has been a social climber since she met Bill, would be unknown if her last name wasn't Clinton, and is serially unaccomplished for anything involving her maiden name...as if graduating from Wellesley gives one keys to the kingdom. Hillary is a sorority-slag that hit the jackpot. She'd be some used-car dealers wife in Little Rock were it not for the proclivities of William's wang.
Do you know what a lot of women see in Hillary that made her so potent? Themselves. A woman that - like so many others - went to college for an MRS degree instead of intellectual stimulation, or in her defense maybe both, but ended up latched to a guy that would fuck a toaster if it wasn't plugged in...maybe even if it was plugged in.
There is no Hillary without Clinton. She is a non-entity.
"That isn't any sort of lofty philosophy"
Since any Dem lofty thoughts are strictly instrumental, applied selectively to squash opponents, and easily jettisoned when votes run short, we need a tag for lofty philosophy BS, by analogy with civility BS.
The "skull" has a very intelligent, well spoken wife and I always looked at their pairing as one of those mysterious attractions on her part explainable only in Coleridge terms as "woman wailing for her demon lover".
"[Carville]'s irked by the femaleness of the Democrats. He needs black men in his party..."
It's worse than that. Republicans are more likely to be married, and it's settled science (tm) that Republican women only vote the way their Republican husbands tell them to. Therefore, every black man who starts to vote Republican is really two votes for the Republicans.
/s
Love to know what betrays Maher's lack of sincerity.
Regardless, merely
flirting with colorblindness is a hate crime last time I checked.
"That isn't any sort of lofty philosophy." Lofty? Can you explain relative loftiness vs. Unloftiness and how it might relate to sincerity?
It really is ironic that the whole motivating principle against 'The Patriarchy' and its attendant chauvinism, has resulted in a strident, truculent mass of women and other acolyte graduates (pick-yer-minority-racial-or-sexual), now in positions of power and authority, who overestimate their competence and are self-reverential about their merit. They are substantially worse than 'The Patriarchy' ever was on these offenses, and are even more intolerant of having this pointed out, especially when these arguments are principled and the challenges are on point.
And speaking of obnoxious females, I see that Ronna McDaniel, former head of the Republican Party, has taken a job on MSNBC as a talking head. What a shocker, a Republican stalwart like Ronna, niece of another Republican stalwart like Mitt Romney, decides to become the face of a liberal propagandist like MSNBC. Garsh.
Republican Representatives deserting their elected posts early to cut the Republican majority to almost nothing, headed for nothing - with no ethical or convincing reason for doing so. Republican executive leadership defecting to the worst progressive Democrat mouthpieces. It just makes one wonder, eh? How many rats are on this ship?
Bill Maher's objection to the Dems' use of racial politics isn't based on any principle such as its divisiveness or toxicity to the national dialogue. His objection is that its counterproductive to The Party's goal in acquiring power.
To Leftists "right" and "wrong" do not enter the equation.
If racial politics was working for Democrats Maher would be full on for it.
The image of "Biden bleeding Black male voters" is in my head now, and I can't get it out. Thanks, Althouse! :-(

You should familiarize yourself with the term "Bill of Attainder".
A law written to exclude Trump would be unconstitutional on its face.
"Do you know what a lot of women see in Hillary that made her so potent? Themselves. A woman that - like so many others - went to college for an MRS degree instead of intellectual stimulation, or in her defense maybe both, but ended up latched to a guy that would fuck a toaster if it wasn't plugged in...maybe even if it was plugged in."
Not only that, they can see that everybody knows that this is what they see. And at that point, it's hard to maintain that "You go, Grrrrl!" fiction - you know, the one on tv and in the movies, where the 110 lb. chick kicks the ass of two or three 250 lb. dudes. "I am woman- hear me roar!" indeed.
Begley: "Female hatred of Trump is key for the Dems; along with massive cheating."
In a nutshell, Dave! But we can go on with all the blather until the election.
I was working in a foreign country once, quite a few years ago, and was on a flight with Carville. This was back when Business / First class were mixed in the same cabin. He had been paying a visit to the country as a consultant, advising the incumbent on election strategies, about a month before an election, there. It's a small country, polarized along racial/ethnic lines - and it's known for its corruption across government, especially the police, and trebly during elections. Carville would have been thought of as a valuable commodity in that setting, and I bet he charged a sack-full.
Now... Carville looks every bit like an object lesson against breeding pitbulls from the same litter, or even first-cousin litters. He looks even more like this in person, and the shaved head contributes to the effect, but I gotta say: He spent a good bit of the flight up with the stewardesses in the galley area, chatting them up and having great time, and they were, too. He is an engaging personality. I get the feeling that he's feeling sidelined and marginalized right now, and that he thinks he still has a few good races left in him. Sucks, getting old.

The Bill Hillary marriage defines the current progressive coalition.
About 20% of the male population that seeks harem style relationships and deposit sperm in random cum dumpsters.
About 60% of the female population that looks for the highest status male to deposit cum in her dumpster every so often.
Neither of these groups is particularly interested in the men participating in raising the resulting children. Except for women who use paternity to get free money when they can.
The only problem Hillary had with Bill being a male whore/predator was it damaged her chances to gain power and wealth. She actively attacked and shamed his rape victims who she viewed as mere impediments to her will to power.
And the women in the Human Resources Revolutionary Front in this country voted for both of these people wholeheartedly. If you voted for Bill and Hillary you need to look in a mirror and really come to grips with how much damage you have done to our society and what motivated you to do so.

After two shampeachments declaring him an insurrectionist is more likely than I would like to think possible in the America I grew up in. It would need to get past a Senate with Sinema and Manchin in the lame duck session so I don't think it would be a slam dunk. I think Electoral College shenanigans are more likely, or refusing to certify his election if the Democrats control Congress on 6 January 2025.
Emotion has become more valued than reason as a driving force in decision-making.
Arguably, it's a feminine mindset and it's now driving our culture. I'd agree but my wife would kick my ass.
If Carville were ever to be honest with himself, he would join his wife as a member of the Republican Party.
Whether or not identity politics “works” (politically) ought to be irrelevant. Segregationist politics “worked” in the South, after all. Did that make it right? If anti-Semitism “works (which it certainly seems to in Dearborn and other locales), does that make it right.
I rarely quote CJ John Roberts, but when he’s right he’s right: “Thexway to stop counting by race, is to stop counting by race.”

Orwell said it was a boot stamping on a human face, forever. What he didn't say is that the boot would be a stiletto heel and the face would have a beard.
America has been a feminist nation for decades. And it shows. Everywhere.
The GOP likewise teems with Empowered women, selling themselves to cucked American righty men. The GOP is a bunch of pantsuited women (all of them proudly feminist) and fourth-rate males like McConnell and Lindsey Graham. A joke of a Legislature.
The endlessly entitled and empowered woman (hear her roar) will be the death of the nation, unless all is overturned and men are restored to power and leadership, instead of being the despised, second-class citizens of a matriarchy.
So females haen't ruined the party of Repubs? Not singlehandedly but close.
Madison channeled Adam Smith when he wrote the Constitution. "Ambition must be made to counteract ambition. It may be a reflection on human nature that such devices should be necessary to control the abuses of government. This policy of supplying, by opposite and rival interest, in defect of better motives, might be traced through the whole system of human affairs, private as well as public."
The defect of better motives is attemping to judge good vs bad. That's how women especially are wired, and they loath competing interest.
"...but ended up latched to a guy that would fuck a toaster if it wasn't plugged in...maybe even if it was plugged in."
Still chuckling over that phrase. Thank you.
Carville has a habit of speaking the plain unvarnished truth.
Rise of the pink pussy-hat wearers and slogan-promoting Karens certainly haven't improved American social rhetoric or civil engagement. There are many things far worse than Trump presidency was, and Biden gets far too much forgiveness for his disreputable demeanor and financial chicanery, and in name of progressive women's expression of political power.
Women's ascent to political power, whether in elected/appointed positions, or at power-positions in corporate and institutional entities, has not necessarily ensured "better" governance. Often it seems women-dominated environment too often resorted to group-think girl-clique identify-politics and mean-girl enforcement of those political beliefs.
Those women who don't lockstep subscribe to progressive politics often must refrain from political discussions with longstanding women friends of "woke" political persuasion, in order to maintain these friendships. Many women self-identify as "progressive-democrats" from safety of their self-chosen majority white suburban upper-middle-class bubble, where one's political rhetoric is rarely challenged by real life experiences.
Speaking of Hillary Clinton, she shamed her husband's willing and unwilling sex partners as if hound-dog Bill had no responsibility or personal choice in his numerous sexual infidelities. In doing so, Hillary promoted the "slut" narrative, disrespecting women, and negating Bill's multiple sexual assault crimes of coercing sex from reluctant lower-status women.
Those pink pussy-hat women protesting Hillary's presidential election defeat likewise negated both Bill's sex crimes, and Hillary's tolerant dismissiveness of those sex crimes.
That's when we stopped being "democrats". Hypocrites, all of them.
Still haven't embraced the republicans. Politics is a nasty business.
Black and Hispanic men are flocking to Republican candidate Trump, because he represents "religion" of personal prosperity for working-class males. Go check-out an African Methodist Episcopal Church congregation, or a Prosperity Gospel Church, they're not Biden supporters anymore. Progressive-democratic agenda, its "free money for everyone EXCEPT working-class males", is not attractive to many POC men. They see vast social welfare governmental-network intends to negate human incentive for personal betterment.
