U-Turn by Establishment as Corporate Dem Guru Carville Pushes 'Platform of Pure Economic Rage'

"James Carville, a one-time political strategist for former President Bill Clinton who has long sparred with the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, turned some heads on Monday when he appeared to embrace a more populist economic vision."

"Writing in the New York Times, Carville argued that the American people 'are pissed' by the state of the US economy, and that Democrats must now 'run on the most populist economic platform since the Great Depression.' "

“ ' It is time for Democrats to embrace a sweeping, aggressive, unvarnished, unapologetic, and altogether unmistakable platform of pure economic rage,' Carville added. 'This is our only way out of the abyss.' "

"While Carville then took a shot at the 'era of performative woke politics from 2020 to 2024,' which he said 'left a lasting stain on our brand, particularly with rural voters and male voters,' he said that Republicans’ total failure to address the affordability crisis has given Democrats a second chance to win them back with bold economic populism."
