Carville is a marble mouthed geriatric avatar of the sclerotic Clintonite wing of the Democratic Party. While these DINOS turtle up and look to the likes of Mitch McConnell to save democracy, Bernie and AOC journey in the beating heart of Trumpland and whip up resistance among the millions of welfare dependent MAGA voters who are suddenly waking up to the impending loss of their Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare, ACA subsidies, and jobs.

The DINOS have been doing the dirty work for Wall Street and Silicon Valley for 30 years and are in no position to lead the charge against a power hungry oligarchy. Not Trump is all the sclerotic wing of the party have to offer voters. It’s not a winning argument.

The path to victory goes through the working class MAGA voters who are angry with the state of their economic lives, not the petty bourgeois MAGA voters who want their taxes back and want to stimulate private sector growth by gutting the public sector. The fire fighters, cops, nurses, teachers, and all the other median income Americans struggling to eek out a life with dignity and opportunity for their children are there for democrats to win back with a clearly articulated platform of Making America Work Again.

A new platform starts by breaking our addiction to billionaires, recommitting to better wages through politically supported unions, and reinvesting in a strong social and economic infrastructure paid for with the private wealth that our social infrastructure produces.
