Good night for Ezra Klein and/or Matt Yglesias and/or every person in a managerial position at the NYTimes to eat shit.

James Carville is what happens when you feed Mogwai James Carville after midnight.
If you know any of these officious corporate-paid pantloads whinging about the dangerous Reds participating in democracy to "take over" "THEIR" political party, tell them their dumb fat Clintonite asses took it over from the Roosevelt coalition and younger smarter better people are taking it back for FDR.
Long as we're talking "propriety" and shit. Mamdani could recite an FDR speech verbatim and they wouldn't even get it, they'd just run to the nearest Times hack and wet their pants over the creeping pink menace.
WE'RE DOING IT FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY GOAT, BITCHES. GET ON THE FUCKEN JUBILEE TRAIN AND LET'S MAKE A BETTER WORLD FOR EVERYONE.
Actual registered Democrats excited about new political leadership in the face of a literal violent fascist onslaught MATERIALLY destroying the republic: WE'RE DOING IT FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY GOAT, BITCHES. GET ON THE FUCKEN JUBILEE TRAIN AND LET'S MAKE A BETTER WORLD FOR EVERYONE.
Pennant Waving Team Democrats: This excitement at and investment in the actual potential of not only the politics of basic human decency but humankind itself is bad somehow.
Remember, everyone, to be genuinely virtuous in politics in the face of a billionaire-megafunded neo-nazi onslaught you need to pay proper respect to both billionaires and people who agree with said neo-nazis that SOME genocide is ok if the people currently in the process of being exterminated are brown and non-christian enough. This is simple realpolitik.
Aaaanyway, you kids've heard me crack enough rageleft jokes for two evenings so here's Dave Alvin with the Jubilee Train medley, which you should hear if you haven't, duh.

Dave Alvin - "Medley: Jubilee Train/Do Re Me/ Promised Land" [Live from Austin, TX]
I KNOW I AM AN OLD GUY BUT YOU KIDS SHOULD KNOW WHO DAVE ALVIN IS. He's a mensch. And his shit rocks.
PeanutDust@GrimmReality Absolute badass and still touring like a motherfucker!
GeePawHill@GrimmReality They really do seem to be absolutely shitting their pants.
@GeePawHill They get particularly mad when smart idealistic up-and-comers decry a specific gross, apt stereotype of compromised hack hoovering up money to endorse the mass murder as an "adult" policy prescription without mentioning ANY names and then yelling I AM OFFENDED BY THIS THAT'S NOT WHAT I DO, and they don't even get what they just fucking did.
Tock@GrimmReality I was thinking he did a life model session with Jim Henson Studios when they cast the puppets for the Skeksis in the Dark Crystal.
ScoutI don’t know why anyone is still listening to James Carville. He had his time THIRTY years ago.
