Just wanted to remind everyone that James Carville is a old neo-liberal and still sucks but I wish nothing but the best for him with the 2026 results.
GTFO Carville, and take Stevens and Schumer with your expired-assed useless opinionsā¦
Yeah, this is the party leadership as a whole.
Just remember this when it comes time to elect the Speaker and the like - itās time to clean house.
[Copy/pasting this from another thread because itās important:]
Can we start talking about who we would like to see in those congressional leadership roles?
For starters, here are some potential names for Senate Majority Leader:
Corry Booker[Heard]- Elizabeth Warren
- Jon Ossoff
- Chris Van Hollen
And for Speaker of the House:
- Jamie Raskin
- Ro Khanna
- Robert Garcia
- Pramila Jayapal
Feel free to discuss pros and cons regarding any of them, or add more names to the lists. We need to have this conversation now.

I would love Elizabeth Warren. Iāve seen Jon Ossoff touted as a potential future presidential candidate. I donāt know him that well, but I suspect it wouldnāt make sense to make him SML and then run him. Not that I donāt like EW as a presidential candidate, I think sheād be great as SML for the next 6+ years.
Corey Booker might be good but Iām not sold (not that my buy in matters). I couldnāt tell if some of what he did was self-serving performative bullshit or genuine. CVH isnāt on my radar so I donāt have strong feelings.
For speaker those all sound good. RG isnāt on my radar either.

I think that justifies my instinct about him.
That makes sense. Yeah Elizabeth Warren might be my top choice too. Hopefully she can find the support she needs with other senators.
Iāve already heard some feedback that Booker might just be more of Schumer-style leadership. That surprised me because he seems pretty firey when he gives speeches. But yeah that might just be him playing the political game, knowing what buttons to press.
I think weāre going to have a pretty robust primary in 2028, so I donāt think thatās a good reason to write off Ossoff for SML. They can always pick a new one if he gets the nomination.
CVH is pretty low-key but heās from my state and honestly his priorities are in the right place and he delivers on his promises. He just isnāt an attention whore like some of his overambitious colleagues.
Raskin of course is my top choice for Speaker, but I may be biased in that regard. Heās too humble to promote himself, but that makes him perfect for the job in my opinion. Khanna would also be a great pick.
And yeah I havenāt paid super close attention to Robert Garcia either but this isnāt the first time Iāve seen his name in headlines, and it usually leaves a good impression whenever he pops up in the spotlight. He seems heāll do great as Oversight Chair anyway, but I thought this particular headline earned him a mention on my list :)
I think youāre going to get a lot of pushback against Booker. He has not done so well when it came to making important decisions. Something that rightfully ruins your reputation for leadership. Donāt get me wrong, though. I would take someone like him as opposed to someone like Jeffries or Schumer any day. I think the only way youāll really see selling Booker. Is by having a strong coalition to help him do the right things and not take the easy ways out.
Yeah that tracks with what Iāve been hearing. Letās not get distracted by that. What do you think of the other choices? Is there anyone you would add to the list?
Best I can do is D+70 in the house and a Dem Soc mayor of DC.
Itās democracy, stupid.
Carville has been irrelevant for some time now. Itās ridiculous when the Dems cart him out to talk bullshit.
Peaked in 2003 with his appearance in Old School. Been on a slide down ever since.
Old irrelevant scrotum looking man angry about change yells to anyone in earshot in a sad clinging attempt to remain relevant
Homie been huffin his own farts for so long he forgot about air
š This š is š who š they š always š were š
You heard him Democrats: you are now hostage to the DSA
Now thereās some good news, if true.
Who the fuck asked for your opinion? Please return to the crypt you crawled out of until next Halloween.
Old shriveled up crawfish of a man. I still canāt tell what right he has to be on screenā¦
Oh no! Anywayā¦
Who is this dude and why do we care? Another political barnacle who makes a paycheck as a bullshit artist.
Snake
what does this who the fuck is he want
