“These people are so fucking stupid, I don’t know what to say about it,” said Carville in a video for Politicon. “So now we have this idea that these insurgent Democrats — and what is their solution? Is their solution to beat Republicans, to run against Republicans? No!”

He continued, “Their solution is to beat Democrats like they’re part of the problem.”

Feels a bit Dunning-Kruger to me. He has no clue how shallow and dumb his own position is, and or how the people he's disagreeing with have already thought through it and far beyond. So he thinks the stupidity lies with them.

Did Carville just find out about primaries? Did he just wake up from some kind of cajun hibernation where he missed the DNC primarying the fuck out of everyone who identifies as leftist since the dawn of time?
