Democrats have gone crazy. Now they’re ready to blow up the entire system.
And a major Democrat threatens to pack the Supreme Court if they gain power.
Carville’s Brazen Push for Democratic Dominance
Democratic strategist James Carville recently laid bare an audacious strategy, pressing Democrats to exploit a potential 2028 sweep of the presidency, Senate, and House to cement a permanent electoral edge.
Claiming to champion democracy, Carville argued for drastic measures to fix what he calls a flawed system.
“The Democrats talk about democracy – the importance of democracy and preserving democracy and saving democracy,” he said.
“Well, the truth of the matter is, people are right when they say this democracy is really imperfect.”
Critics, however, see his plan as a thinly veiled attempt to tilt the system in Democrats’ favor, undermining the very democratic balance he claims to protect.
Stacking the Deck with Statehood and Court Packing
Carville’s blueprint hinges on aggressive power plays, including unilaterally granting statehood to Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia to inflate Democratic voting power in Congress.
He also called for expanding the Supreme Court to 13 members, a move widely viewed as an effort to neutralize its current conservative lean.
“They are just going to have to unilaterally add Puerto Rico and District of Columbia states,” Carville asserted.
“They’re going to have to do it. And they may have to expand the [Supreme Court] to 13 members.”
Such tactics, opponents argue, risk destabilizing the nation’s checks and balances for partisan gain.
A Risky Gambit in the Shadow of Trump
Carville conceded that these moves, once unthinkable even to him, carry significant risks.
“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.
Yet, citing President Donald Trump’s influence, he insisted Democrats must act decisively to “save democracy.”
While he wavered on whether to campaign on these ideas, Carville urged immediate action upon taking power.
Critics warn that such a radical overhaul could entrench one-party rule, eroding democratic principles far more than the flaws Carville claims to address.
