** Carville to Dems: Stop Listening to Coastal Elites’ NPR Politics
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------

Monday on MSNBC’s The Beat ([link removed]) , Democrat consultant and political commentator James Carville ([link removed]) said his party needs to stop listening to “elite coastal people” who push identity politics.

Carville said, “If we keep this kind of NPR foundation strategy of identity left politics, we’re going to lose. If we pick up the banner and say, ‘They have a plan, and this is their plan. You didn’t believe them when they told you they would overturn Roe. Guess what? They did. You better believe them when they tell you they want to get rid of Social Security and Medicare because they do…’”

Asked how he defines “NPR politics,” Carville said, “I defined it in the spring of 2021 when I wrote a piece in The Wall Street Journal saying the Democrats need to own the crime issue, or the crime issue will own you. Well, people said, well, you can’t do that because there will be a big backlash. Okay, you didn’t own it, and guess what? It’s a big problem for Democrats. I’m telling the same elite coastal people, ‘Forget everything. We are going to advertise and push the fact that [Republicans] want to throw people off Medicare and Social Security, and they want to shut the government down to do it. That’s how you win.’ We should have grabbed the crime issue back in the spring of 2021, but we got to listen to these foundation NPR types, which is always a disaster.”

For once, Carville is right. The Democrats should stop listening to the coastal elites, but it’s too late. Those elites control the Party and they are driven by identity-politics ideology, not by the concerns of voters.

In an August 2022 interview ([link removed]) with The Hill TV, Carville, discussing how the Democratic Party was being perceived negatively by much of the American public, said that those perceptions were the fault of no more than a tiny fringe of Democrats: “So much of what has happened to my party is we tend to get defined by some over-educated, totally doofus coastal elites that are out trying to write dictionaries or something unrelated to anybody’s life. And that kind of stuff has a tendency to be very sticky, to stick with people. It is not who the party is. They are a very small part of the Democratic Party. But they’re very noisy, and they get much more attention than is justified. […] These people have the ability to irritate. They have the ability to come up with really stupid things, like ‘Defund the Police,’ the three worst words ever in the English language, maybe. And you know, ‘Let’s
get rid of Abraham Lincoln.’ That takes a really smart person to come up with that. So we pay, while huge majorities of the Republican Party don’t believe in evolution. Alright, huge majorities of the Republican Party followed Donald Trump. But somehow or another, we pay a greater price for 11% of our people than they do for 65% of their people.”
