During a recent podcast appearance, longtime Democrat strategist James Carville suggested that the next time Democrats are in power, that they should add more states and pack the U.S. Supreme Court in order to… save democracy.
If any of that makes sense to you, you might be a liberal.
The Hill reports:
Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville on Thursday suggested Democrats should add two states to the country and expand the Supreme Court in order to “save democracy.”
“They are just going to have to unilaterally add Puerto Rico and District of Columbia as states, … They’re just going to have to do it. And they may have to expand the [Supreme Court] to 13 members,” Carville said during a Thursday podcast episode.
The proposal comes after the longtime commentator told party members to let the president “punch himself out” of the American public’s good graces.
Carville says conditions are drastic, citing the GOP push to add five additional House seats in Texas ahead of the 2026 midterms, and require a more forward approach if Democrats capture the White House and both chambers of Congress.
“Any of those things in isolation I would be skeptical about. I would be cautious about,” Carville said of his ideas.
Here’s the video:

Conservative commentator Guy Benson had an excellent response to this today on FOX Business. Republicans are in power now. Should the GOP start creating new states right now? Would that save democracy? Watch:
James Carville — an old guard Dem — now says that if his party wins back power in 2028, they should blow up the filibuster, unilaterally add two blue states to the country, and pack the Supreme Court with four new seats. Why? To “save democracy,” of course! My response:… pic.twitter.com/FBFufdQS0E

Benson is right. Carville and his party think whatever helps them is ‘democracy.’
