James Carville Offers Dating Tips for Leftists: Let Go of Your Self-Righteousness

Democratic strategist James Carville recently shared his thoughts on a controversial moment from Netflix’s reality show "Love is Blind." In the show’s eighth season, contestant Sara Carton ended her relationship with Ben Mezzenga because she felt he was not progressive enough. Carton expressed her disappointment after asking Mezzenga about the Black Lives Matter movement and finding he hadn’t thought much about it.

Carville responded to this situation during an interview with Fox News. He urged young Democrats to reconsider their approach, saying, “Get over your preening and your moral superiority.” He emphasized the importance of being pragmatic in politics, suggesting that a more realistic outlook could lead to greater happiness and success in elections. Carville pointed out that losing elections means losing the chance to enact change, which is ultimately what many young progressives want.

In a humorous twist, Carville reflected on his own dating experiences, noting that he had to broaden his options beyond just Democratic women. He joked that he considered dating Republicans to increase his chances of finding love, adding a light-hearted note to his serious advice.

This exchange highlights a growing debate within the Democratic Party about the balance between progressive ideals and practical politics. Carville’s comments resonate with those who believe that a more inclusive and flexible approach can lead to better electoral outcomes.
