In reply to the discussion: Carville was right. Here's why it doesn't matter [View all]Beastly Boy
(9,230 posts)The only comment Carville made about wokeness was that this narrative is like a foreign language to most voters of all ethnicities and backgrounds. He is not trying to shut anyone up, or tell anyone what to say or not to say. He doesn't make any judgement on whether it is good or bad, right or wrong, fair or unfair, liberating or oppressive. It is neither his job nor inclination to make these judgements. As a professional strategist, his only concern is that what voters don't understand, they will not relate to. This is an observable fact, a fact that, in his professional view, creates an impediment to the ability of Democrats to win elections. His only proposal was to find common language that everybody can understand. If woke was commonly understood, I doubt Carville would have any issue with it. How is this not right?
Oh, and if you think "faculty lounge talk" is not a thing, you should see white people acting woke. It's the proverbial "white men can't jump" kind of spectacle. A Larry King rapping with Snoop Dog kind of spectacle.
