He expressed concern that listening to the \u2064demands of various interest groups may jeopardize the party&#8217;s chances \u2063in the upcoming elections, particularly emphasizing the pressures faced by Vice President Kamala Harris regarding progressive policies like the Green New Deal. \u200dCarville argued that a successful campaign requires decisive leadership, as opposed to accommodating all voices. He reflected on past Democratic losses, noting that aligning too closely with activist agendas has hindered candidates in previous elections. Carville advised Democrats to prioritize winning\u200d elections first, suggesting that comprehensive discussions on progressive policies can \u200doccur after achieving electoral victories. he emphasized the importance of strategic\u200d focus\u2063 in campaigning, cautioning against what he perceives as naive approaches within\u200c the party, particularly from well-motivated activist groups.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">James Carville warns Democrats&rsquo; &lsquo;inclusive&rsquo; agenda threatens Harris&rsquo;s election odds<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1771226\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Democratic strategist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/james-carville\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>James Carville<\/a> warned his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/democrats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>party<\/a> that they stand to lose a lot if they try to &ldquo;listen to everybody.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>During a podcast interview Friday on Politico&rsquo;s <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/podcasts\/playbook-deep-dive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Playbook Deep Dive<\/a><\/em>, Carville suggested that it was &ldquo;a shortcoming of Democratic politics that everybody has a seat at the table and everybody can be heard.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I would always tell people in campaigns: If you want a democracy after the election, you have to have an autocracy before the election,&rdquo; Carville said. &ldquo;When I hear people say, &lsquo;We&rsquo;ve got have an inclusive and we&rsquo;ve got to listen to everybody,&rsquo; no you don&rsquo;t.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The political pundit&rsquo;s roughly 40-minute conversation focused on warning Democrats not to cave to interest groups ahead of Election Day. Carville argued that Democratic presidential candidates in the past, such as Michael Dukakis and John Kerry, lost their bids for office in part because they aligned with activists.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Democrats just wanted to feel good about themselves, and we were more tolerant, we were more educated, we had a broader view,&rdquo; Carville reflected.<\/p>\n<p>Carville called the strategy &ldquo;a stupid f***ing argument,&rdquo; as he urged Democratic Party leaders to wait on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/under-ethics-scrutiny-liberal-dark-money-behemoth-arabella-advisors-discloses-1-3-billion-fundraising-haul\/\" title=\"Liberal dark money giant Arabella Advisors reveals .3B fundraising amid ethics scrutiny.\">pushing progressive agendas<\/a> until after the election.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">In this week&#8217;s Deep Dive, Ryan Lizza sat down with longtime Democratic strategist James Carville to discuss his strong belief that &ldquo;campaigns are not decided by editorial page writers&rdquo; but by &ldquo;salesmen and hucksters.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>More in this week&#8217;s episode: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/v3QJpGJCSK\">https:\/\/t.co\/v3QJpGJCSK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; POLITICO Playbook (@playbookdc) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/playbookdc\/status\/1839652543065895330?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 27, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script> <\/p>\n<p>Responding to pressure Vice President Kamala Harris has faced to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/what-is-a-woman-heres-what-chatgpt-has-to-say\/\" title=\"What Is A Woman?
