"Well, if the Democrats went crazy and the Republicans went sane, then I probably would be a Republican," he added. "But I don't see any evidence that there's any possibility that the latter could happen.""I think it's more likely than not that the Democrats embrace sanity," Carville continued, saying the party’s direction will be determined by Democratic primary voters.HASAN PIKER'S DEFENSE OF HAMAS HAVING 'RIGHT TO RESIST MILITARILY' DRAWS CONDEMNATION FROM HUMAN RIGHTS GROUPSIn recent months, there has been a rising faction of far-left Democratic candidates in multiple states, to the point where Carville has suggested there be a schism to keep them out of power.Hasan Piker, a self-described socialist streamer who campaigned with Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, has emerged as a leading voice on the left as democratic socialists gain ground in elections across the country.
