WASHINGTON, DC: James Carville has taken out his anger at the Joe Biden campaign and its handling of issues. He aruged the reason the party's messaging was not attracting younger voters and Black voters is because it is ignoring the economy. 

During his 'Politicon' podcast on Saturday, May 26, the veteran Democratic strategist said, “We keep wondering why these young people are not coming home to the Democrats. Why are Blacks not coming home to the Democrats? Because Democrat messaging is full of s**t, that’s why!”

James Carville asks Joe Biden to 'stop talking' about Gaza

He further stated, as reported by Fox News, “Why are we forgiving student loans for people that go to Harvard?” before mentioning business professional Scott Galloway.

“Which, according to Scott Galloway, quite accurately, is nothing but a hedge fund that has classrooms, well, they got a $52 billion f**king surplus! Why are taxpayers going to bail these people out?” Carville added.

“Don’t talk about f**king Gaza and student loans!” he asserted.

He said, as per Harvard/Harris polling, the war in the Middle East ranked lower than economic issues for Americans. Carville suggested the Democrats come out with a proposal to tax university endowments over $5 billion dollars and use the money to forgive student loans.

He also said the focus of the Democrats should be on the economy and cost of living.

Earlier in April, the political consultant reportedly said, “I think President Biden could win the election, but I think in terms of identifying which party, in terms of building as you go forward, it — the male detachment in the United States is a significant problem, particularly among what we would call non-White males.”

The third one mocked, “Smart man, he married a republican.”

The fourth one stated, “Carville is having a meltdown lol lol.”

“I'm curious as to who Carville thinks would be the Dem's best candidate. Hope it's not Bill Clinton,” the fifth one added.

But there were a few who understood Carville’s point.

“Sadly, Carville is speaking truth to Biden. Hopefully, Biden ignores it, as it could turn around his fumbling, stumbling campaign and get him re-elected . . .” a supporter commented.

The second one said, “Biden Does not talk about his plan for the future. Because he has no plan, all we talk about. It's trying to give illegal student loan forgiveness and Trump bashing and Republicans bashing and Calling all Republicans, white supremacists, and racists. How about saying what you're going to do for us.”

The third one added, “I agree with James Carville. The Democrats have become so out of touch with reality. If they had any sense, they would listen to him!”
