Am I alone in my waxing weariness of James Carville? ... [View all]

The way I see it, his renowned "sage political advice" has devolved into a word salad expostulating a peculiar and probably trademarked, "certainty of vagueness". I've heard the term "political adviser" bandied about in Democratic party circles for decades and how marvelously indispensable and valuable they are. If ever there was a talent requiring constant substantiation and proof of value, it is this. The Democratic party and the people at large need and deserve more than a gruel of Cajun leftovers, appreciation for which, at least for my part, has grown thin. Has he no other income source than "political genius" for hire?

Trump walks onto the stage with literally no comprehensible talent or value except audacity. He takes on (and defeats) not only the American political system but rational thinking itself. Unbelievably, we the Democratic base, are again in the painful position of congratulating and well-wishing the fucking freak that beat us. How about, instead, we discover and ALLOW the existence of a political adviser who can divine AND defeat that shit!

Trump won using a tactic of engendering hatred for, pick something, ginning up the disgust of average people for it and demanding/promising, as a policy, to put a stop to "it". How simple is that? It works because the American people are simple. The Democrats respond to that elemental furor with actual policy and even answer questions about it from a truly soulless media. We are being asked to consider that as the reason millions of voters failed to vote Democratic, refusing to even show up at the polls. I feel certain we would have easily won if Kamala had just punched or cussed out, on camera, a talking head just once. Assault could have been a real game changer.
