James Carville’s message to young voters opposed to Biden: ‘F–k you’ 

Democratic strategist James Carville had choice words for young voters on Sunday, warning that “little f–king 26-year-olds” unenthused about President Biden will have “no rights left” if former President Donald Trump wins the 2024 election. 

“So, I hear this a lot,” Carville said. “‘James, young voters are just not into this. It’s two candidates, one’s in their 80s, one is almost in their 80s, they’re concerned about things that Washington politicians, and you just can’t blame them for – ‘Oh, s–t. F–k you!”

“Are you watching what is happening in the Supreme Court?” the former Bill Clinton adviser fumed in the video, posted by podcast purveyor Politicon. “If you’re 26, do you see what they’re doing? First of all, they’re gonna take every right that you could possibly have away from you.”

Carville went on to rail against conservative justices on the Supreme Court, accusing them of being “illegitimate whores” and deriding the high court as an “illegitimate organization” as it considers Trump’s presidential immunity claim.

“You tell these young people, if you don’t get involved right now, in this election, they’re gonna be involved in your life for the rest of your freaking life,” Carville demanded, in a message aimed at Democratic operatives, referring to Trump, his allies and conservative Supreme Court justices. 

“If they get a hold, there will be no government left, there will be no rights left, you will live under theocracy, you’ll end up with Christian nationalism,” Carville ranted. 

“But that’s all right, you little f—ing 26-year-old, you don’t feel like ‘the election’s important to me. They’re not addressing the issues that I care about,’” he raged, dismissing the concerns of the key Democratic voting bloc.

Carville, 79, ended his tirade with more suggestions for Democratic operatives hoping to turn out young people in November.

“Tell these young people to get off your motherf–king a– and go vote, because you should vote like your entire future and the entire future of this United States depends on it, because quite frankly, it does, and that’s not an exaggeration,” he declared.

Carville’s rant comes after he expressed concern last month over the “horrifying” lack of support the Democratic Party is receiving from young minority voters heading the presidential election

“We’re not shedding them, they’re leaving in droves,” he said.
