How James Carville Would ‘Save Democracy’ ; Always listen when Democrats tell us what they want to do.

"We need a couple of new states whose voters will vote reliably for Democrats, and we must assure that pesky Supreme Court justices don’t force our “leaders” to adhere to inconvenient clauses of the Constitution. Listen to James Carville. He says what all Democrats think."

"It’s hardly a secret that the Democrats are in the midst of an existential crisis. They are leaderless, fractious, broke, and more unpopular with the voters than they have been in decades. Yet, as their antics have demonstrated during the first seven months of the second Trump administration, they don’t connect these calamities to their bad policies and worse execution. Instead, they attribute their ills to malevolent forces threatening “our democracy” and see themselves as its saviors. How will they rescue the republic? Former Clinton advisor James Carville laid out a blueprint last Wednesday.

"He argued that, if the Democrats achieve a governing trifecta in 2028, they must take certain steps that will give them permanent control over the federal government: “If the Democrats win the presidency, the Senate and the House in 2028 … they are just going to have to unilaterally add Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia as states.” Carville continued, “And they may have to expand the Court to 13 members.” It’s tempting to write his comments off as the ravings of a washed-up blowhard, but the Democrats have introduced bills in recent sessions of Congress that would have created these states and bloated the Supreme Court." ...

. . . "All of this suggests that it is the Democrats themselves who constitute the real threat to “our democracy.” This view is certainly consistent with what we know about their history. It was Democrats who presided over Jim Crow, whose primary function was to disfranchise black voters who cast their ballots almost exclusively for Republicans from 1870 until the New Deal era. It was Democrats who imposed literacy tests, poll taxes, and grandfather clauses to assure that black voters didn’t threaten the solid — white Democrat — South. And, finally, it was Democrats — North and South — who vehemently opposed women’s suffrage." . . .
