    1. Dn Zach dude I don’t know what meds you’re on or maybe thanks to dejoy & trump your meds haven’t arrived in the mail yet, whatever the case you’re not quite on this planet

    2. Dear@Curious George,
      So you are still up to using the ad hominem remarks. I could joke with you and say I’m on super intelligence pills, but would you get the joke ?
      Rather than focusing on running people down with derogatory remarks and insults, I would rather objectively and rational discuss the issues. Being in the middle as an independent (political position and mindset) I try to be aware of the pros and cons of each side (admittedly, I’m not too sharp on the policies of the various minor political parties). There are some policies that I am sure are right and some policies that are wrong. There are also some that I have not studied well and am not sure of; and some that I have no opinion of.

      I would say that for the most part, Republican polices are more rational and thoughtful (but not all), than the Democratic policies. (Note: I did not say Republicans are all rational and thoughtful).  
      I have never voted a straight ticket. I think that more likely exhibits a lack of discernment and knowledge of the issues, and the candidates. I once visited a church, right before elections, and the pastor told everyone to just go in and pull the “D” lever; there’s no need to look at the names. I thought that was disgusting and certainly out of line behavior, for a Christian pastor.

      Example – My county has one of the best Sheriffs in the nation. I Like his policies and he is a very honorable person, who does a really great job. He is a Democrat. I always vote for him because of his policies on law enforcement and and the good job he does. On the other hand, I am a supporter of Senator Tim Scott, a Republican. He has my vote because of his honesty and principles.
      So, Dear Curious George, no drugs, I use reasoned intelligence and think through the issues. I wish everyone would.
      Be Well
      DZ

    3. @Dave Lamson very obvious that is not us who protects the world as we take everything from them and destroy any country that stands in our way . so shut up .

    1. i haven’t paid attention to her, but i think i;ll begin to pay a little more attention to her and see what she is all about etc… we’ll see how it goes, seems like everyone has a high opinion of her, we’ shall see.

    1. @Bernard Brother not really- Do you really know the extent to the Russian involvement ? why do you think Trump wants to block mail in ? How many states have no way to trace or track electronic votes?

    2. @Joyce Hewett Pay attention to how corporate Democrats rig primaries against progressives and I might start caring about GOP election rigging

    1. John Rambo doesn’t matter she’s woke and popular on Twitter And she’s also morally correct even if she’s not factually correct

  1. What’s happening? Is he trying to not alienate left voters? He sounds like someone else, he sounds uncomfortable.

    1. It’s so obvious that he doesn’t take AOC seriously. He can barely mention her (incorrectly, I might add) with a straight face. Carville is way past his prime and should just relax and enjoy his sunset years off camera.

    1. @Keith Christensen I just wanted to comment the same idea… but put it more gently 😉
      It takes a cool/smart person to know one

    2. @Paul Lorenzini Sure… when she’s 20 and studying law and wanting to pay her way through university, how admirable that would be, and by age 35 she would be a rising star in politics… maybe one day she even might become president, just like AOC will. Wonder where your daughter will be. In front of that same bar while the bar tender has moved on?

    1. Maybe because he took a guy three quarters of the country hadn’t even heard of and got him to the White House.

    2. @Ben Frank What’s the iPhone got to do with it? Politics is politics. The fundamentals haven’t changed.

  2. The Dem party is a corporate controlled party. The only way we get a potus that will actually do things for the average American is if the younger gens actually start voting.

    Boomers are too deep in the red scare. Anything other than “The free market is god” is seen as socialist even though we see the country on fire thanks to that philosophy.

    1. USA is NOT a first world country. High speed trains like in Europe, Japan, China…? Anyone? Universal health care like any other normal country in Europe? Carrying guns freely in public space? School massacres! A TWO party political system? As if people’s ideas and values only can be ‘republican’ or ‘democratic’ (whatever those labels really mean)? And to become president you have to be filthy rich, how democratic is that? Still a looooong way to go dear Americans.

  3. Carver is old school & like he said about Clinton was great for the DNC during his time but now? Get out of the way Mr Carver because AOC and the likes are the new & bold face of the DNC.

  4. If Italy can have great Universal Healthcare taking care of ALL its people and even migrants in need, then what’s wrong with you America bankrupting your citizens with Healthcare costs and allowing them to die without any care? Universal healthcare is what a civilized society offers people living within their borders🙄

  5. The fairest I’ve ever seen Carville be. Perhaps he’s figured out that this is no longer his party or his country. They belong to the people, of which he is not.

  6. He surprised me in his response. I thought he was going to poo poo AOC, but his response was thoughtful

    1. Not really. He must be taking the “I think she’s a hot young woman with a nice personality” route, because he HATES Bernie Sanders. Otherwise, it makes no sense. He also might think she can still be manipulated by corrupt, corporate Democrats like him but he’ll be sadly mistaken.

  7. So nice to hear people talk that is not lying all the time, relentlessly, like Donald and his gang.

  8. If Trump is reelected, the Democrats will scapegoat the “progressives and, being a well known face, they’ll destroy her and the rest of the squad. If Biden wins, they’ll immediately cut off the “progressives” and silence their voices.
