The whole reason people don't care about the Democratic Party is because they do nothing for anybody but peddle identity politics in lieu of material politics that might actually help people and have been doing so for so long that nobody believes government is capable of materially benefiting their lives, so that when someone like Bernie comes along and advocates something like Medicare for all the public doesn't even believe it's achievable. What this idiot is advocating for is simply more nothing that will inevitably lead voters to turn to the next right wing populist who comes along because whatever else they're saying their pro-business, anti-socialist rhetoric is at least in line with what voters have been conditioned to believe is within the realm of possibility. James Carville is just leading you down a defeatist path to fascism.
