An astonishing amount of attention has been paid to what, as far as I can tell, is the modern political equivalent of consulting the oracular wisdom of a haruspex.
In a recent interview, Mediaite’s Dan Abrams asked Democratic strategist James Carville about rank-and-file Democratic voters’ growing impatience with their leadership’s refusal to provide them with “Resistance”-style theatricality. The institutional Democratic Party’s wait-and-see approach to opposing Trump may be tactically sound, but it’s not emotionally gratifying. As such, it may not be sustainable for much longer. Himself an advocate of the Democratic establishment’s “possum” strategy, Carville advised restless Democrats to stay the course. Why? Because the auguries and portents are auspicious!
