Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville mocked the far-left wing of the Democratic Party as "stupid" and "naive" while appearing on Bill Maher's "Club Random" podcast Sunday.

"I find the left to be just annoying," Carville told Maher. "The western far left is habitually the most stupid, naive people you can imagine. They come up with these really goofy constructs and it's all about feeling good about yourself."

Maher agreed and criticized progressives for demanding society cater to their feelings. "If your feelings are hurt, that’s more important than free speech," he argued.

Carville revisited his criticisms of progressive Democrats later in the program, arguing they were a burden to the party.

Carville said he found them "annoying and silly" after Maher mocked the notion of "pregnant men."

"Most people don't even know what they're talking about," Carville said. "The identity left are silly. They're not evil, they're just goofy."

The Democratic strategist argued that White leftists had hijacked the term "woke" and driven voters away from the party.

"What happened is, overeducated, coastal White people, got ahold of the word and [like] they do with everything else, they completely f---ed it up and p----- everybody in the country off," he said bluntly. "If we could just get the humanities faculty at Amherst [College] to shut the f--- up, we'd be a lot better off."

While only 10% of the party actually identified as progressive, he argued, they dragged the entire party down.

"The number of MAGA people is 65%. We pay a greater price for 10% of our party, than they pay for 65% of their party," Carville complained.

After Maher brought up how Trump was drawing more support from minorities, Carville said this was because there was an attitude of elitism in the Democratic Party that turned off voters.

"There is a certain coastal arrogance in this country, and people feel it," he said. "You got all these preachy people telling you what you should do."

The pair spent also spent time bashing the GOP and the evolution of the party under former President Trump.

After Maher suggested that true overt racists were hard to find in today's society, Carville disagreed. "They're everywhere," he said, arguing he often he sees Confederate flags on the back of pickup trucks.

"Not all Trump people are racists, but all racists are Trump people," Carville declared.

Both liberals said the Republican Party had changed for the worse, in terms of its values and commitment to fiscal responsibility under Trump. "Trump just blew the whole thing up," Carville said.

However, the pair shared concerns President Biden could lose to Trump in the next election because of voters' concerns over his age.

"He will lose because at some point perception becomes reality," Maher said. "He cannot run for president, he'll look bad in the debates."

"He will be Ruth Bader Biden —it's not a good look," the HBO host said.

Maher and Carville both agreed that a younger Democrat had a much better chance in a matchup against Trump.

Any Democrat in their 50s that wasn't "stupid" or "woke" could win over Biden, Maher said. "Easily," Carville agreed.

A recent poll from CNN found two-thirds of Democratic voters wanted an alternative to be the party's primary candidate.

"That's a big f---ing number," Carville stated.

Oh, James, I apologize; I forgot you were there.

You may go now.

Yes, well, there's nothing preventing people from being both of these things simultaneously.

That's a damn lie. There are no racists in the Democrat Party? What a joke.

I guess that idiot Carville thinks only whites can be racists. What a tool!

Carville wishes he could be a Lefty-Libertarian like Maher but, he knows he'll never get invited nor, get any access to future Democract gatherings where he can get straight scoop.

James Carville has always been a blithering nutbag. You can't let this leftist propagandist's remarks upset you. He knows damn well that leftists are the worst kind of racists- those who pretend to love people of other races but secretly look down on them and use them for their own purposes, and damage and drag them down in the process; he just can't ever admit it publicly, that's all.

I am surprised, probably shouldn’t be, that he got away with that obvious lie. All racists love Trump hence all racists are Republicans. That is idiotic on all levels. It’s so idiotic that Carville doesn’t even believe it but he knows in this media atmosphere it might become a repeated sound bite. Fuck that guy.

Of course it's an obvious lie. Much of propaganda is exactly that. Carville is a propagandist, and has been so for his entire professional life.

The guy had to balance his bashing of the woke mob with bashing of the Trump people. Lol.

Carville looks like a snake and has always acted like a snake, he is a snake.
So is Bill Maher a snake, they deserve each other.

That hairball would eat a steaming turd if he thought it'd get him traction somewhere. I take 0% stock in anything that douche nozzle says.

I've talked to Carville on the phone; he's a first-class asshole

I've seen him around DC a few times. His wife is the nicest person you'll ever meet. And James, for all his nutbagness, it probably the only lefty I'd like to have a beer with. He would be very entertaining.

Like trying to be an ice cube in an oven. No wonder Maher is so confused. And Carville has always been crazy.

James Carville is the left's Karl Rove. Essentially, two faces of the same useless coin. Those weasels are two of the few people that deserve kidney stones, gout, and gall stones back to back to back.
