In reply to the discussion: Carville was right. Here's why it doesn't matter [View all]Beastly Boy
(9,276 posts)"Wokeness is a problemt" in the context which Carville defined immediately prior to saying it: communicating with the voters the majority of whom don't get it. it wasn't a general comment on wokeness. And we all know it. And, as clearly demonstrated in this thread, Carville got clobbered for saying it. You wouldn't dispute that, would you? I am not bringing this up because I feel Carville needs me to protect his fragile feelings, but purely as a response to your post.
Yes, he said a lot more than I credited him with in my post, but it was all in the context of the narrative being like a foreign language to most voters. He specifically mentioned the bastardization of the essentially populist notion of wokeness by the academic elites.
But thank you for bringing the meaning of what Carville said into focus, and I am looking forward to you disputing Carville's statement in context. For instance, you may disagree that most voters don't get the concept of woke. Or you may disagree that this does matter when running a necessarily ruthless campaign. Or you may disagree that this negatively affects Democrats' chances of winning elections. That's perfectly fine, I am not in a complete agreement with Carville myself.
