Carville says young 'snot-nosed' progressive staffers hurt Harris with 'hissy fit' over Rogan

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville argued that the recent election loss shows that young, idealistic progressive staffers are a liability to the Democratic Party.......                    ...                        ...Veteran Democratic Party strategist James Carville scorched young progressives in the Harris campaign, arguing that their role in scuttling her interview with Joe Rogan helped cost her the election.......A campaign official said earlier this month You are not allowed to view links.

What I would tell them: 'Not only am I not interested in your f---ing opinion, I'm not even gonna call you by your name. You're 23 years old, I don't really give a s--- what you think,'" he said......."And let me tell you another huge error, a huge f---ing error that was made is when people said, 'Campaigns need to reflect progressive values.'

Campaigns are authoritarian by their nature," Carville said. ......"If I were running a 2028 campaign and I had some little snot-nosed 23-year-old saying, 'I'm going to resign if you do this,' not only would I fire that motherf---er on the spot, I would find out who hired them and fire that person on the spot!" he added.

My heart goes out for you, all of you served your country and your party with great distinction, you should be remembered and and I'm sorry that these a--holes so much contributed to you losing your job."......He then sarcastically argued that progressive Democrats got their wish at the cost of victory......."I guess the progressives now have their dream," Carville joked. "We're more of a coastal party, and we've gotten rid of all these moderates, and maybe you can all sit around some coffee house in Lower Manhattan and celebrate how f---ing smart you all are."......Carville has argued for months in the lead-up to the election, and after Trump's victory, that the Democratic Party needs to overhaul its messaging.
