James Carville Proposes Split Between Democratic Party Factions

James Carville, a veteran Democratic strategist, has called for a potential split within the Democratic Party, particularly targeting the progressive wing over what he terms 'pronoun politics.' In a recent podcast and video, he expressed concern that the focus on identity politics is damaging to the party's electoral prospects, suggesting that progressives should consider forming their own faction and refrain from using the 'Democratic' label. Carville highlighted that many traditional Democrats are frustrated with the progressive focus and indicated a willingness for both groups to negotiate a common ground post-election. He argued that the party should prioritize winning elections rather than infighting among its own members. Carville's comments reflect a growing divide within the party, as polling shows many Democrats lean towards a more moderate approach. He conveyed that while he supports many progressive goals, the current emphasis on identity politics could alienate voters.
