Democratic strategist James Carville criticized “preachy females” on Saturday for the Democratic Party’s poor polling performance. In an interview with the New York Times (NYT), Carville expressed his belief that the presence of too many “preachy females” has contributed to the declining popularity of the party. He compared the situation to the discomfort of unexpectedly seeing one’s grandmother naked.
“You can’t get that image out of your mind,” Carville told the outlet.
Biden’s approval rating has stayed at 37%, as reported by the New York Times, despite the expectations of his campaign that the president’s 2024 State of The Union address would boost his polling numbers.
Carville characterized the Democrats’ emphasis on “woke” policies as “feminine,” claiming that this approach is detrimental to the party. He cautioned Biden about the potential loss of the black vote and urged Democrats to shift their priorities as the general election draws near.
“A suspicion of mine is that there are too many preachy females,” Carville told the NYT. “‘Don’t drink beer. Don’t watch football. Don’t eat hamburgers. This is not good for you.’ The message is too feminine: ‘Everything you’re doing is destroying the planet. You’ve got to eat your peas.’”
“If you listen to Democratic elites — NPR is my go-to place for that — the whole talk is about how women, and women of color, are going to decide this election,” he continued. “I’m like: ‘Well, 48 percent of the people that vote are males. Do you mind if they have some consideration?’”
“Now don’t tell me that Biden has more energy or cognition than Trump because it’s evident that, yeah, Trump’s got word salads, but he projects energy,” the Carville said.
James Carville says the Democrat party has too many preachy women in it & he quit teaching at LSU because he got student complaints about what he said. Compares Biden’s poll numbers to seeing your grandma naked. This is a great read, phenomenal quotes: https://t.co/eyLHvnLOAg
