Democratic strategist James Carville said this week that Vice President Kamala Harris should tell the far-left wing of her party to “go f–k themselves.”
He issued the stunning recommendation while appearing Thursday on the “Politics War Room” podcast.
“Understand this, and I’m going to say this as clearly as I can: Anybody that has ever listened to anything that the progressive left has ever said has lived to profoundly regret it,” he began. “On literally every issue, they’re dead ass wrong.”
Listen: **WARNING: Language**
He then proceeded to pull out some receipts.
“Ask Elizabeth Warren about Medicare for All,” he said. “She blew her campaign up with one speech. Alright, ask the ‘defund the police’ people … I’d love to read a good article on who really was the strategic idiot behind her 2020 presidential campaign, because they were real f–king idiots, alright?”
He even pulled out a receipt involving President Joe Biden, who spent the first few years of his presidency treating the southern border crisis the way a leftist moron would treat it.
“Why is the border an issue?” Carville asked rhetorically. “Because Biden listened to these people early in his term. They weren’t just wrong; they were catastrophically wrong.”
Concluding his remarks, he stressed that the “progressive” left is always, always, always strong.
“These people are not just wrong — they’re really walking catastrophes,” he said. “And the faster people realize that, the better off they’re going to be. And they don’t have very much power. I wish she’d tell them all to go f–k themselves. Their power is totally exaggerated. They can’t win an election outside of a D+25 district.”

Many would agree he is definitely right, and it shows in the progressive left’s recent behavior — demanding Harris not choose Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Jew, as her running mate, even though many believe he’d offer her the best chance of defeating former President Donald Trump in November.
This progressive nonsense even made its way into The New York Times, where columnist Michelle Goldberg this week warned Harris against picking Shapiro because he’s Jewish.
“[U]ntil about five minutes ago, everyone worried that the Democratic convention was going to be thrown into chaos over Gaza,” Goldberg wrote. “A lot of those tensions have died down, in part because voters angry at Biden’s Israel policy are more comfortable with Harris, who is reported to be more sympathetic to the Palestinians.”
“Choosing Shapiro, who is ardently pro-Israel and outspoken in his condemnation of the recent campus protests, would rip those wounds open again,” she added.
Carville isn’t the only one who sees the light about the far left. Responding last weekend via X to an anti-Shapiro campaign by a progressive group that calls itself “No Genocide Josh,” Rep. Ritchie Torres, a Democrat himself, blasted the “antisemitic far left.”
“Every potential nominee for Vice President is pro-Israel,” he tweeted. “Yet only one, Josh Shapiro, has been singled out by a far-left smear campaign calling him ‘Genocide Josh.’ The reason he is treated differently from the rest? Antisemitism.”
“The antisemitic far left must never be given veto power over the selection of a presidential running mate,” Torres added.

The problem for Harris is that her whole career has involved her spouting the rhetoric and promoting the ideas of the far-left.
Right before she dropped out of the 2020 presidential race in 2019 and joined current President Joe Biden’s ticket, she made it clear during a CNN town hall that she very much supports banning hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.
“There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking and starting with what we can do on day one around public lands, right?” she said. “And then there has to be legislation, but, yes, that’s something I’ve taken on in California. I have a history of working on this issue. [W]e have to just acknowledge that the residual impact of fracking is enormous in terms of the health and safety of communities.”
That same year, she cosponsored radical Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal, which also includes a ban on fracking.
“Climate change is real, and it poses an existential threat to us as human beings, and it is within our power to do something about it,” she said at the time. “I am supporting the Green New Deal.”
She’s also compared immigration authorities to the Ku Klux Klan and called for the elimination of private healthcare.
