Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Is He Wrong?

 James Carville is a bit of a buffoon who won with a remarkably adept politician in a three way race. However, I don't that means he's necessarily wrong about Democrats falling into jargony "faculty lounge" speak. I'm part of those faculty conversations and terms like Latinx don't make a damned bit of sense to me, any more than they do to Hispanics.

Biden has largely avoided some of that - or more accurately no one cares because most people are simply happy that he's doing a decent job and not tweeting out nonsense at 2AM. 

Still, going forward, we need to be more accommodating of the Joe Manchins in the party.

UPDATE: Josh Marshall has a more subtle take on it.
