In reply to the discussion: James Carville is speaking the hard truth [View all]RegularJam
(914 posts)I don't use the word "simple" as a way to say his thoughts aren't complex. He simply stays grounded.
After reading and listening to him over the last couple of days I believe what he is saying boils down to this.
Nationally and often locally elected democrats are speaking to minority populations overall. He believes what they are saying and the legislation they are promoting to be just. He also believes what they are saying needs to change. The manner in which the conversation is being directed toward minority communities is leaving a broad brush message toward whites. He would like to see democrats start speaking more directly to whites and hone a message with them.
We are winning the long-term battle. Carville wants to win the next election.
Carville isn't wrong and he does not oppose the legislative priorities or their direction. In fact, he really likes that aspect.
He is simply talking messaging.
