Longtime Democrat strategist James Carville told Vox on Tuesday that "wokeness is a problem" for the party "and we all know it."
Carville added that despite success in the 2020 elections, Democrats have a "messaging problem."
"If we’re just talking about [President Joe Biden] Biden, it’s very difficult to find something to complain about," Carville said. "And to me his biggest attribute is that he’s not into 'faculty lounge’ politics."
Carville explained.
"You ever get the sense that people in faculty lounges in fancy colleges use a different language than ordinary people?," he said. "They come up with a word like 'Latinx' that no one else uses. Or they use a phrase like 'communities of color.' I don’t know anyone who speaks like that. I don’t know anyone who lives in a 'community of color.' I know lots of white and Black and brown people and they all live in ... neighborhoods.
"There’s nothing inherently wrong with these phrases. But this is not how people talk. This is not how voters talk. And doing it anyway is a signal that you’re talking one language and the people you want to vote for you are speaking another language. This stuff is harmless in one sense, but in another sense it’s not."
Carville added, "We have to talk about race. We should talk about racial injustice,” but "we need to do it without using jargon-y language that’s unrecognizable to most people — including most Black people, by the way — because it signals that you’re trying to talk around them."

and carville does the very thing at the end of his speech
talking down
by libsplaining to all of us what we already know about libtards talking around people, condescending
Faculty and Biden should not be in the same sentence.
Judging the from the excerpt, I’d say old snake head is right.
“Educated beyond their intelligence” is what mom used to call them.
Forked tongue talks about speech?
I don’t think wokeness is a problem at all for Dems. With their media allies, and the masses sufficiently indoctrinated, wokeness is the currency of virtue for them. Dem voters hear those terms and think how smart they are, how open and inclusive they are to be sharing those terms with their betters in academia.
Wow.
If Carville says the Democrats have an issue, then it must be reaching catastrophic proportions.
I have looked up the meaning of woke and wokeness, and STILL don’t understand it.
Welcome to the world you helped to make, Serpent Head.
I know lots of white and Black and brown people
..................................................
But I know lots of White and black and brown people.
Carville’s not talking to us, he’s talking to libtards.
Alert to racial or social justice
Carville throws us a bone from time to time.
yeah but he just illistrated the concept while explaining why it’s bad :)
Our Red Guards are getting out of control, Chairman Mao!
“Tell those a-holes to shut up!”
“HEY, SHUT UP YOU A-HOLES!”
...but only if the GOP-e fights against it.
“e plebnista”
Snakehead doesn’t realize he is irrelevant to the marxist party
