      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.

    It’s fucking James Carville. What did you think the thought?

    His episode on 30 Rock was hilarious though.

    Remember, Democrats are just right wingers that use subversion to get votes. They’re not the left. They’re less vitriolic conservatives.

    The left wants UBI and Medicare for all.

    Carville is a dumb shit asshole who doesn’t need any platform yet my low key racist democrat obese never did anything but complain aunts keep him paid.

    Same with that other cock holster Bill Maher.

    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.

      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 the 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 and he’s left just raging against the whole dominant culture of the Democratic party as it currently exists.

      Not generally, although “preachy” is. Saying females or women are mostly interchangeable, although using females in this case is an odd choice as there’s no real reason to pick that specific word. Generally you’d use female in a scientific or medical context where the biology in question is relevant (E.G. when talking about disease statistics or similar). Saying women would be a bit more inclusive but since he’s being an asshole anyway not sure a little extra inclusivity is going to make any difference.

        Generally speaking, using “females” instead of “women” is seen by women as an indicator you understand them as little as if they were a whole different species. The Ferengi accent is palpable.

        (Saying “female” as an adjective about women, especially in a scientific context, doesn’t have that connotation.)

          Adding to that. Most papers refer to their population as x amount of mem and women age bla bla. Females isn’t often used to describe humans. It’s just the internet trying to sound smart.

        Well, here he’s clearly using “Females” to be exclusive and offensive, demonstrating that the term does, in fact, have that potential, is my point.

        It is kinda nice when trying to figure out other cultures’ taboos, that you can get something as cut and dry as “this word or concept can show up in a news article when politicians misuse it.”
        Kinda intimidating, but also a useful frame of reference, because then there’s post like yours which specify that its context-specific.

        It can be really frustrating when you spend years tiptoeing around something, only to find out that the person you learned it from just had weird personal hangups or something.

    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?

    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

    … 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.

    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.
