James Carville Says He’d Rather GOP Win House by 5 Seats Than Dems Win by 5: They’d Be ‘Hostage to DSA’ Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville said he would rather see Republicans keep control of the House by five seats than watch Democrats win the chamber by the same margin, warning that a “nightmare” razor-thin majority would leave party leaders “hostage to the DSA.”

I wish someone would ask him “What would DSA force them to do?”

What in the actual fuck. I think his brain is is turning to mush. Being “hostage” to the DSA would be worse than being hostage to the Nazis?

Carville needs to lay off the whisky. Sad truth is he’s long been a Third Way DINO who helped get us to this situation in the first place. Guy’s too lazy to actually persuade or change where people are but instead hides just how actually conservative he is and thinks we should just continuously cater to the blind, as if that has no repercussions. Anyways, what he’s really saying is “Trump isn’t so bad.” Fucking nuts.

This is why it’s critical for dems to win as many seats as possible. We desperately need to move left and votes are more important than ever
