Democrat Leaders Pressure Strategist to Shut Up About Joe Biden’s Low Polling Numbers

Olivia Rondeau 28 Oct 2023

A prominent Democrat strategist claims that “leading” party members are pressuring him to shut up about President Joe Biden’s low polling numbers in the lead-up to the 2024 election.

James Carville, a long-time political consultant who worked on both Bill and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaigns, told the Atlantic that Biden’s numbers are “not good” and that Democrats are trying to get him to stop talking about it.

In a Friday article about Rep. Dean Phillips’ (D-MN) newly announced bid to primary Biden, Carville said that his own party members are telling him to hush up about the difficulty the president is facing in his reelection attempt, but not because he’s wrong — his words are just upsetting them.

“Nobody is saying, ‘James, you’re wrong,’” he said. “They’re saying, ‘James, you can’t say that.'”

“I’m looking at polling data, and I’m looking at all of it. The president’s numbers are just not good—and they’re not getting any better,” he argued.

Carville has been in talks with Phillips about his plan to replace Biden as the Democrat Party’s nominee, saying, “I talk to a lot of people who do a lot of congressional-level polling and state polling, and they’re all saying the same thing. There’s not an outlier; there’s not another opinion… The question is, has the country made up its mind?”

According to Carville, the Biden White House “operates with what I call this doctrine of strategic certainty,” which he believes is a poor strategy for the upcoming election.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Carville is evil, but he knows what he's talking about  inside the Democrat Party and is usually right about these things.

Stalin had bad poll numbers too.  But it didn't matter.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Look, folks, if he louses up the point spread in the eyes of the hoi palloi, and Biden steals another one, there just might be real Hell to pay, not some phony insurrection (the worst thing since the Flood).

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Yep. May not care for the guy, but he is highly politically astute and one of the best operatives to ever play the game.
