James Carville rips Democrats for lack of unity, warns party is ‘steamrolling' toward a civil war
Democratic strategist James Carville ripped Democrats for their lack of unity and warned that the party is "steamrolling toward a civilized civil war" in a new essay. "Constipated. Leaderless. Confused. A cracked-out clown car. Divided," Carville wrote in a Monday guest essay published in The New York Times. "These are the words I hear my fellow Democrats using to describe our party as of late. The truth is they're not wrong: The Democratic Party is in shambles." Carville said that New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's win in the city's primary "represents an undeniable fissure in our political soul." Carville Calls Socialist's Victory In Nyc Mayoral Primary A 'Potentially Damaging Event' For Democratic Party He pointed to Mamdani's economic policies, which include government-run grocery stores and plans to tax the top 1% of New Yorkers, admitting that he is concerned that they will actually be able to be executed. "We are divided along generational lines: Candidates like Mr. Mamdani are impatient for an economic future that folks my age are skeptical can actually be delivered," Carville said. Read On The Fox News App "We are divided along ideological lines," he added. "A party that is historically allegiant to the state of Israel is at odds with a growing faction that will not look past the abuses in Palestine. From Medicare for All purists to Affordable Care Act reformists, the list goes on and on." He said that Democrats must "demand" a repeal of President Donald Trump's cuts to Medicaid in the 47th president's "big, beautiful bill." Carville Shreds Dem State Chair, Tells Progressives To Start Their Own 'Pronoun' Party The legislation requires able-bodied adults without children to work 80 hours a month, amounting to 20 hours each week, in order to receive Medicaid benefits. He also said that Democrats must "demand a repeal to end the endless wars, because the bill boosts military spending to $1 trillion for the very first time," as well as help students who are losing loan protections and may no longer be eligible for Pell Grants. Democrats must also "demand a repeal" of the cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Carville said. "We've never had a simpler, more unifying oppositional message," Carville said. "Soon it will no longer be possible to avoid a brawl between the factions ignited back in the 2016 Democratic presidential primary. But for now, whether you're the progressive Mr. Mamdani, the centrist former Rep. Abigail Spanberger running for the Virginia governorship or even Elon Musk, we can all agree on one thing: We demand a repeal. Onward to the midterms."Original article source: James Carville rips Democrats for lack of unity, warns party is 'steamrolling' toward a civil war

James Carville rips Democrats for lack of unity, warns party is ‘steamrolling' toward a civil war
Print Close By Rachel del Guidice Published July 21, 2025 Democratic strategist James Carville ripped Democrats for their lack of unity and warned that the party is "steamrolling toward a civilized civil war" in a new essay. "Constipated. Leaderless. Confused. A cracked-out clown car. Divided," Carville wrote in a Monday guest essay published in The New York Times. "These are the words I hear my fellow Democrats using to describe our party as of late. The truth is they're not wrong: The Democratic Party is in shambles." Carville said that New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's win in the city's primary "represents an undeniable fissure in our political soul." CARVILLE CALLS SOCIALIST'S VICTORY IN NYC MAYORAL PRIMARY A 'POTENTIALLY DAMAGING EVENT' FOR DEMOCRATIC PARTY He pointed to Mamdani's economic policies, which include government-run grocery stores and plans to tax the top 1% of New Yorkers, admitting that he is concerned that they will actually be able to be executed. "We are divided along generational lines: Candidates like Mr. Mamdani are impatient for an economic future that folks my age are skeptical can actually be delivered," Carville said.

Violence erupts at Bangladesh youth rally, media report four killed
Violence erupted on Wednesday at a rally of Bangladesh's youth-led National Citizen Party in the southern town of Gopalganj, with four people killed and more injured according to local media. Deadly student-led protests forced long-time Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to flee to India in August last year, and since then there have been delays over promised reforms, growing protests and political division. Nobel peace laureate Muhammad Yunus, who took over as interim head, said in a post on X that members of the NCP, police and media were attacked during a peaceful rally on Wednesday, with cars vandalized and individuals assaulted. 'Preventing young citizens from peacefully holding a rally to commemorate the one-year anniversary of their revolutionary movement is a shameful violation of their fundamental rights,' he said, blaming Hasina's political party the Awami League and its student group for Wednesday's violence. BBC News Bangla reported that four people were killed while the local daily Prothom Alo said nine were injured. Police and hospital officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters. Authorities imposed a curfew.
