Politics can get messy, like when cousins argue at family reunions. Sometimes the fighting gets so bad that families split apart. The same thing happens with political parties when they lose their way.
Right now, one party is having a really big family fight. The squabbling has gotten so bad that even their own leaders are calling it a disaster. And it’s not Republicans doing the name-calling – it’s coming from inside their own house!
James Carville, the famous Democratic strategist who helped Bill Clinton win the White House, is sounding alarm bells about his own party. In a shocking new column, Carville doesn’t hold back about what he thinks of today’s Democratic Party.
From ‘Daily Wire’:
Longtime Democratic Strategist James Carville let loose on his own party in a scathing op-ed, calling it “constipated,” “leaderless,” and “a cracked-out clown car” that was barreling down the road toward a “civilized civil war.”
Carville has often taken Democrats to task in recent years – particularly with regard to their obsession with “wokeness” — and his column in Monday’s edition of The New York Times was no exception…
“Constipated. Leaderless. Confused. A cracked-out clown car. Divided. These are the words I hear my fellow Democrats using to describe our party as of late. The truth is they’re not wrong: The Democratic Party is in shambles.”
This isn’t just a little family squabble. Carville says Democrats are racing toward what he calls a “civilized civil war.” He believes this fight needs to happen but warns fellow Democrats to try holding it together until after the 2026 midterm elections.
The Coming Democratic Civil War
Carville points to growing divisions between traditional Democrats and the rising socialist wing of the party. These new far-left Democrats, like New York’s Zohran Mamdani, are pushing ideas that clash with moderates.
The longtime Democratic insider doesn’t see an easy fix. He says only “an actual savior” can unite the broken party – someone like Barack Obama in 2008 or Bill Clinton in 1992. Without such a leader, the Democratic Party might keep falling apart.
But not all Democrats want to hear Carville’s tough love. Hunter Biden, son of former President Joe Biden, fired back with angry words: “James Carville hasn’t won a race in 40 f***ing years.”
How Long Until Complete Collapse?
With Democrats fighting among themselves, the question becomes: how much longer can they hold together? President Trump’s victory in 2024 has only made these divisions worse.
The Democratic Party now seems split between old-school Democrats, radical progressives, and socialists. They can’t agree on basic policies or even how to talk to voters.
Carville’s warning about a “cracked-out clown car” shows just how bad things have gotten. When your own party strategist compares you to a drug-addled circus act, you know you’re in trouble!
Will Democrats find their “savior” before the 2028 election? Or will the civil war Carville predicts tear the party apart for good? Either way, conservatives can watch from the sidelines as Democrats struggle to figure out who they even are anymore.
