James Carville criticized progressive Democrats for their focus on identity politics, arguing for a potential split within the Democratic Party to better align political philosophies. In a video, he expressed concern that current trends, such as an emphasis on pronoun politics, alienate traditional voters. Carville suggested progressives could choose a different name and that an amicable separation could allow for both factions to define themselves and possibly find common ground post-election. He framed this as a necessary step for the future of the party, emphasizing the importance of coalition-building.
Carville argued that a schism may be necessary to reconcile the differences between progressive Democrats focused on pronoun politics and more traditional Democrats like himself.
The only thing I'd ask is just don't use the word 'Democratic' in any title that you have, because most Democrats that I know that are running for office don't want your name.
Carville described the identity politics as possibly 'the stupidest fucking thing' he's ever seen, and suggested that it turns away voters.
He proposed an amicable split so that progressives and traditional Democrats could coexist under a philosophical roof and regroup after elections.
