    Woke Superiority

    Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville went after his own party’s "wokeness" during an interview published Tuesday.

    Carville slammed the "jargon-y language" he said is being used by some in the party to talk how everyday voters don’t, arguing it undermines the party’s ability to beat Republicans.

    Vox began the interview by asking Carville what he made of President Biden’s first 100 days in office, to which Carville responded that it was "difficult to find something to complain about."

    Carville went on to say that Biden isn’t into "faculty lounge" politics, which he described as when "people in faculty lounges in fancy colleges use a different language than ordinary people."

    "They come up with a word like ‘LatinX’ that no one else uses. Or they use a phrase like ‘communities of color.’ I don’t know anyone who speaks like that. I don’t know anyone who lives in a ‘community of color.’ I know lots of white and Black and brown people and they all live in ... neighborhoods," Carville said.

    Vox asked Carville if language was the problem or if people just didn’t want to hear about "race and racial injustice."

    "We have to talk about race. We should talk about racial injustice. What I’m saying is, we need to do it without using jargon-y language that’s unrecognizable to most people — including most Black people, by the way — because it signals that you’re trying to talk around them. This ‘too cool for school’ s--t doesn’t work, and we have to stop it," Carville said.

    Writer Sean Illing said it sounded like Carville had a "problem with ‘wokeness.’"

    "Wokeness is a problem and everyone knows it. It’s hard to talk to anybody today — and I talk to lots of people in the Democratic Party — who doesn’t say this. But they don’t want to say it out loud," Carville said, before stating people are worried they’ll get "clobbered or canceled" if they speak out.

    Every person with more than two functioning brain cells knows that this wokeness stuff is BS.
    But too many people stand to leverage personal advantage over others from the politics of victimhood for anyone to give it up.

          Democratic National Committee chairman Jaime Harrison agreed with strategist James Carville's analysis that their party has an issue with "wokeness" and elitism, imploring party candidates to "speak plain English."

          Harrison addressed Carville's criticism Friday during an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," telling host Willie Geist that he also gets frustrated with the phraseology that some in the party use, seemingly referring to Carville calling out Democrats for using "jargon-y language" like "Latinx."

          In his interview with Vox, Carville argued Democrats were being elitist by not speaking like everyday voters and connecting with them, which, he said, could prevent the party from building a bigger majority in Congress.
