Carville: It’s Like There’s a Plant in Progressive America to See How Many ‘Jackass, Stupid Things’ Democrats Can Embrace

CARVILLE: “I got, for my outrage, these are partly, like, dramatic things. There are just two things that Democrats have done that are so unmoored to what anyone in the country thinks or feels like. It’s almost impossible. The first one is, some Democrats and progressives in New York are advocating for bereavement pet leave. Okay? So, in other words, if your cat dies, you get three days of paid leave. Does anyone even know, like, in rural America, like, where I grew up, how many dead animals in the entire history of the United States? Let me tell you something, a sound that has never, ever, ever been uttered: ‘Well, Martha, Fido died so I can’t bale the hay today.’ I mean, come on! I mean, please, just think of how — fortunately, no one’s going to overly publicize this, although the right is using it in some places — just how clueless you sound to people who are agrarian. It’s like, you know, you’re living on a different thing. Life and death on a farm is something that happens every six hours. I mean, my God. Then we had the famous DNC chair race of — okay, I don’t really really care. Let me read to you something. ‘Speaking to the Democratic National Committee, which met to select the new leadership this weekend, outgoing chair Jamie Harrison attempted to explain the point about rules concerning gender balance for his vice chair race. ‘The rules specify we have a gender non-binary candidate to office and a non-binary individual is counted if neither male or female and the remaining six office must be gender-balanced,’ Harrison said.’ Did I just — did I just read this? Of course I did. And do you believe this? Of course you do. Because that’s the level of jackassery that — now, does any Democratic candidate — no, I don’t even know if Ken Martin himself has, but they do it. And it’s like there’s a a plant somewhere in ‘progressive’ America that just sees how many jackass, stupid things that they can embrace. It is stunningly stupid, both of them.”
