He used to be squarely in the mainstream of Democratic politics, then he was shocked and outraged by Obama (and showed for whatever reason an unerring instinct to gravitate to the worst candidates available, Pelosi and Hilary being two good examples), and now Biden’s doing a bunch of things that would have been unthinkable even for Obama, so a one-time Democratic king maker is now on the far outskirts raging against the whole dominant culture of the Democratic party as it currently exists.
What the fuck

Just another lead addled boomer. They will be the death of us all.
Yes, James Carville is a centrist Democrat.

Carville doesn’t want primaries because he’s a centrist Democrat. Neat deflection.
