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.

If you must continuously remind people how masculine you are - you are not masculine.

Most likely yes, though he will probably say it belongs to his wife.

Correction: this person identifies as a manly man.
The giveaway: He is a democrat.

What. Women can't drive trucks? What a sexist
Somebody ping ridesthemiles. She lives on a ranch. I'll bet she knows how to drive a truck. She might have a few choice observations to make.
Wait. I'm Somebody. I'll ping her myself.

"Democratic Manly Man" is an oxymoron.

He built, with his buddy turned campaign manager, a shed in his backyard.Probably one of those plastic pop-together sheds you buy at Home Depot. And they probably read the instructions. 🙄

It doesn’t take size, strength, and ego to make a man. That describes a gorilla. Manly is an appearance and it includes confidence, grace, and concern for his fellow citizens and himself. And that’s where democratic men fail. They could care less about the people that expect them to work for them. They are too busy trying to be misidentified. But they have no concept of what a real man is. Maybe half of one.

Reminds me of the very gay, retarded, Tim Walz, leaning on a pickup truck, acting like he knew something about it, or failing to properly to load a simple 12 ga. shotgun that the rest of us have been using since age 12.

Right... because Poindexter has always been associated with overt manliness...

I worked with a guy who had such a bad case of “Short Man Syndrome”, the truck he drove was so big he needed a ladder to get in it.

“There’s nothing wrong with being masculine,” Poindexter told me. It’s okay, he said, to be “a manly man.” He should run against a dem girly man, to show dems believe his claim.
