Thanksgiving is on the horizon, yet it seems some folks on the left haven’t quite gotten the memo about being thankful. Instead, they’re boiling over with rage, once again, as noted by none other than strategist James Carville. His recent call for more fury among Democrats is a highlight in his latest opinion piece, aptly titled “Out with Woke, In with Rage.” It seems that while many Americans will be tucking into turkey, the Democrats will be stewing in their frustrations.
Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer finds himself in a bit of a sticky wicket over in his political paradise. It’s not palm trees and pina coladas for Schumer as he faces backlash from within his own party. According to reports, a group of liberal senators is less than thrilled with his approach ahead of the upcoming midterms. As Democrats scramble to find a cohesive strategy to counter President Trump, one can’t help but wonder if they’re relying too heavily on temper tantrums instead of tangible solutions.
The Democrats’ inner turmoil doesn’t end there. Across the political battleground, candidates with radical views are gaining traction. This leftward lurch is leaving the party with a conundrum: how to appease its increasing number of progressive candidates without alienating the moderate voters who might just tip the electoral scales. Rage seems to be the dish of choice they’re serving, but one has to wonder if it’s the right recipe for success.
On the other side of the aisle, President Trump, in his usual style, turned the Turkey Pardon into a feather-ruffling spectacle, replete with humor. He took advantage of the occasion to roast his political nemeses, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, with jokes some might call “clucking” good. While Democrats gnash their teeth, President Trump shows his ability to keep the mood light, especially with Thanksgiving just around the corner.
In the midst of the Democrats’ existential crisis, one thing is clear: while rage might fuel a news cycle or two, it’s unlikely a winning platform for midterm elections. As the economy and policy solutions remain top of mind for voters, it’s those areas where the Democrats should focus, rather than trying to whip people into a frenzy. In a country where people prefer pumpkin pie to meltdowns, the party’s best bet might be to seek gratitude and good governance over endless gripes.
