Oct 28, 2025This week began with the release of a report titled “Deciding to Win,” claiming to light the way “toward a common sense renewal of the Democratic Party.”
But the first mention of healthcare is so far from reality that the authors might have more accurately titled their report “Deciding to Lie.” The report declares that Medicare for All is in the category of “unpopular economic policies.” The claim is false. But it’s in sync with the corporate sensibilities and wishful thinking of party operatives like James Carville, whose praise of the document appears on its first page.
Saying “corporate Democrats” then linking straight to a picture of James Carvel is like old school goatse linking someone. I have a visceral reaction when I see that fucking crypt keeper.
Luckily no one important politically cares what he has to say. But he’ll still say what billionaires want you to hear, and billionaires will keep putting him to be on TV and say it.
Centrist apologists will trot his quotes as some kind of “wisdom”.
