Yeah. Itās 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 to the worst candidates available, Pelosi and Hilary being two good examples), and now Bidenās doing a bunch of things that would have been unthinkable even for Obama, so a one-time Democratic king maker is now on the far outskirts raging against the whole dominant culture of the Democratic party as it currently exists.
What the fuck
Before he said something weird on a podcast a few weeks ago, I hadnāt 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 ājettisonā the Democratic primaries and caucuses and let Nancy Pelosi pick all the candidates, and his international rĆ©sumĆ© is interesting reading.

Carville doesnāt want primaries because heās a centrist Democrat. Neat deflection.
