Brian Poindexter had just finished wolfing down a Reuben sandwich in a deli outside Cleveland when he delivered a message that, coming from a Democratic House candidate in the year 2026, sounded almost provocative. “There’s nothing wrong with being masculine,” Poindexter told me. It’s okay, he said, to be “a manly man.”
Poindexter’s own manliness credentials are fully in order. The 46-year-old started working in a machine shop as a teenager and spent years hauling furniture across the country before finding stability as a union ironworker.
He drives a Ram Big Horn pickup truck and built, with his buddy turned campaign manager, a shed in his backyard. Now Poindexter is running for Congress, trying to flip a Republican-held seat in Ohio with a pitch aimed at a constituency that has abandoned the Democratic Party over the past two decades: men.

Funny how pandering is a gold-plated art form during the lovey-dovey socialist sales pitch, but gets dropped like a hot turdato during communism.
No self respecting man with a real job votes democrat.
LMAO - if you need an Atlantic article to proclaim your “manliness” . . . .
“He drives a Ram Big Horn pick up truck!!”
So, that’s supposed to be enough ‘proof’ right there.
Some might see Freudian influenced - over compensation instead.
His whole campaign and indeed this whole theme seem like a lot of cope to me.
Democrats hate straight men most especially straight White men. They’ve made this perfectly clear for DECADES. I don’t see how any straight White man who has any respect for himself could possibly support the Democrat party.
🙄
When you see articles like this, you’re reminded of just how out of touch the political Left is with normal men
Democratic Manly Man = Oxymoron.................
You can put lipstick on a pig, but he’s still a pig.
You can dress up a queer to look like a man but he’s still a queer.
Does he have a side kick named Sherman?
Come on, it’s not like his name’s Poindexter. Oh, wait, it is.
Five seconds, damn it.
Put a general’s uniform on a Milley, it’s still a Milley. Can’t do the “free trial,” did the “reporter” ask him about the recently deposed poster boy, the oyster farmer, Platner?
For some people, a big pickup truck is a useful tool.
For some people, a big pickup truck is "compensating".
Though, now that I think of it, Sherman’s companion was Mr. Peabody. Poindexter was from Felix the Cat, I think.
“Poindexter’s own manliness credentials are fully in order.”
If you have to break it down, define it and put a label on it...I think you’re coming from a place where you real men are not a part of your world.
If you have to tell people you are a “manly man”, or feel the need to explain to them why that is the case, you aren’t.
But does he have a Subaru in his garage?
