Democrat Civil War Has Begun

Establishment Democrats are alarmed by the rapid rise of Zohran Mamdani and his DSA posse and are starting to speak up.

When John Fetterman sounded the alarm, few Democrats listened because his views are heterodox. Now, sitting lawmakers and consultants are joining him.

The party of Jew hatred and communism is at loggerheads. How much Jew hatred, bigotry, and communism is too much?

Mediaite: On Wednesday’s Politicon podcast, Carville freaked out at the results. He noted that Avila Chevalier, who was born to Dominican immigrants, once said white people should not be in interracial marriages. “Lady, I ain’t in the same party as you,” Carville said. “I’m sorry. I’m just not. And I actually do think it’s time for Democrats to talk the ‘s’ word: schism. I really do. Everybody’s always said, ‘No, no. We’re a coalition. We’re a big tent. And there’s just some sh*t I can’t be in the same tent with.” Carville then insisted that despite winning their Democratic primaries, “these people are not Democrats.” He then suggested that establishment Democrats “negotiate the terms of a schism” with democratic socialists in the party. “But I’m done,” he continued. “I’m not in that f*cking political party. I am totally comfortable in a political party that spends time questioning the policies of the government of Israel. In fact, I’m enthusiastic about that. I don’t want to be in a political party that denies the right of the state of Israel to exist. That’s just not– I just can’t do that.” (Mediaite.)

NEW: James Carville: “I actually do think it’s time for Democrats to talk the S word: ‘Schism’ … there’s just some sh*t that I can’t be in the same tent with … I’m done … I don’t want to be in a political party that denies the right of the state of Israel to exist.” pic.twitter.com/O5ATLyvXwV

This poisonous snake is entirely responsible for the communist incubus that’s now destroying the Democrat Party. He simply ignored and indulged the ugliest elements while spewing his own brand of insanely bigoted and reflexive hatred.

Carville’s day of reckoning has arrived.

CNN: One particularly notable critic of his endorsements in Tuesday’s primaries was New York Attorney General Letitia James, a key backer during his campaign. “Some of the candidates that he has supported are individuals who do not understand the politics of New York City, the cultural differences from district to district, who have not been part of the history and the struggle of some of these districts, and are relatively new to the body politic,” James told CNN, pointing particularly to what she said was Mamdani’s lack of understanding of race and class issues that run deep. James said she and other political leaders she’s spoken to are “disappointed” in Mamdani. (CNN.) More to come as the establishment freaks out over potential disasters.

Noah Rothman argues that the Democratic Socialists of America are not really a political party, but a hate movement masquerading as one.

National Review: The DSA cannot be coopted, mollified, and incorporated into a broader  political coalition. It is not a constituency. It is a hate group. And the object of its hatred isn’t the “Zionists” as they increasingly euphemistically refer to Jews, or the capitalist enterprise. It is America itself.

For a while, though, casual observers could be forgiven for thinking that this rabid sect just had a pathological contempt for Israel. Even as Hamas terrorists were still at large inside Israel — raping, torturing, and massacring any Jew in their line of sight — the DSA held an “anti-Israel” rally in “solidarity” with the terrorists, who were “not unprovoked.” They kept up the pace in the weeks that followed. Almost 140 people were arrested during a nighttime march through New York City — a menacing, destructive outburst in which marchers held signs that read, “I do not condemn Hamas,” and chanted, “There is only one solution. Intifada. Revolution.”

On October 28, 2023, thousands attended a DSA rally, which they called “Flood Brooklyn for Gaza” in a direct reference to the October 7 operation that Hamas called “al-Aqsa Flood,” throttling traffic on roads and bridges and harassing Jews. Antisocial? Yes. Bigoted? Sure. Criminally malicious? Definitely. But anti-American? Democrats could still tell themselves that was a bridge too far. By November, the Democratic Party should have noticed that it was the target of this insurrectionary movement. On November 16, DSA activists descended upon the Democratic National Committee’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., on a night when they knew that the party’s lawmakers would be on the premises. They were met by Capitol Police in riot gear, and the two forces clashed violently as the insurgents tried to secure access to the building. “We were rescued by armed officers who did not know the protestors’ intent,” Representative Sean Casten confessed. “I’m also keenly aware that it could have been much worse.” (National Review.)

Preach it, brother.
