Democrats will destroy Democracy in order to “save it.”
Democratic strategist James Carville on Wednesday urged his party to open “Pandora’s Box” and seize long-term power the next time they win big, arguing it’s the only way to “save democracy.”
“The Democrats talk about democracy – the importance of democracy and preserving democracy and saving democracy,” Carville said. “Well, the truth of the matter is, people are right when they say this democracy is really imperfect.”
Carville cited GOP redistricting efforts in Texas and other perceived structural imbalances, calling on Democrats to take full advantage if they sweep the presidency, Senate, and House in 2028, including moves to cement a permanent electoral majority.
“They are just going to have to unilaterally add Puerto Rico and District of Columbia states,” Carville said.
“They’re going to have to do it. They’re just going to have to do it. And they may have to expand the [Supreme Court] to 13 members,” he said.
“Any of those things in isolation I would be skeptical about. I would be cautious about. I would say, ‘Well, I don’t know if that’s the greatest idea in the world, you’re opening Pandora’s Box,’” he said. “If you want to save democracy, I think you got to do all of those things because we just are moving further and further away from being anything close to democracy.”
