Democrats and Men
American Greatness ^ | 31 May 2025 | Stephen Soukup

Democrats are spending $20 million to win back men—but until they understand what men actually want, they’ll keep buying maps without learning the terrain.

Since last November, Democrats and their friends in the media have spent a great deal of time wondering what they can do to win back male voters. Now they’re prepared to spend a great deal of money to help them figure it out. The “gender gap” in American politics was traditionally about Republicans’ inability to win over a majority of women voters, but this imbalance has more than evened out over the last few election cycles. Today, the Democrats’ struggle to win male voters—and young male voters, in particular—is as pronounced—if not more so—than their opponents’ struggle with women. Some of them, at least, would like to know why and would like to spend $20 million of their donors’ money in the process.

The explanations and consequent solutions offered so far range from the seemingly practical to the hopeless to the head-scratching. One might think that $20 million would buy something more insightful than this, but then, this is the same party that triumphantly chose Tim Walz as its vice-presidential nominee, fully expecting him to be the answer to their gender gap problem. Or in other words, don’t hold your breath.

In reality, the odds that the contemporary Democratic party will be able to win back men, now or in the foreseeable future, are vanishingly small. The party, as it is currently constituted, lacks both the will and the ability to make the changes that would be necessary to do so. What I mean by this is that the contemporary Democratic party is built on a handful of foundational notions that are, by and large, incompatible with the goal of appealing to men.

When your platform is built by and for batshit crazy upper middle class white women, men are going to look elsewhere.

“democrats” and “men” used in the same sentence is...well... an oxymoron. It just ain’t right. There isn’t a real American man to be found anywhere near there...nada, none!

Democrats live in a world where they think they can buy anything... because until recently they’ve been able too.

In relationships, men want Respect above all.
Men like to hear “Thank you” in the same way that women like to hear “I love you”.

The Democrat Party does not respect men and will not say “thank you” for any of the things that men have achieved.

Leftist women have no concept of hunting, working nor providing for progeny. They want to kill, mutilate or mindwash their own to show their independance from the man.

It's oil and water.

MAGA finds it untoward to conjure up hair brained ideas to waste $20M on partying and other ‘research’

They don’t know anything about people who are not in their bubble.

Hiring a morbidly obese frat girl to reach men is the new standard of tone deaf. She’s going to find and influence actual men on her daily rampages through King Buffet? Might as well stick with Mayor Pete playing tonsil hockey with his friend.

On that note, every democrat
male you talk to we need to treat them like they are fragile little soy boys. If they support democrats then they need to be reminded and compared to the most girly cucks that democrats celebrate. Something like “ this is men stuff, dude stuff, and you wouldn’t understand.” Make them own it and treat them like prissy little school girls. Treat them like they have never had a pair.

They have been at war with men for 50 years and then wonder why they lost their vote.

The Democrats brought in an obese, angry lesbian not to attract men to the Democrat Party, but as outreach out to all the soy boys they lost since 2020.

They're saying, without saying it, that they lost a LOT of soy boys since 2020.

Correct. Was at a college graduation ceremony the other day. After the apparently now obligatory apology/viture signal to ‘Indigenous People’, there was a stream of cropped-haired, mean-faced lesbians, Women Of Color, women with weird colored hair, and an an asian guy who got some award. Maybe ten or so in total, of these people. I mentioned to a member of my family (leftist woman) that I found it odd that there were zero white men in the entire ceremony. This, it seems, has been the ultimate offense, given the subsequently icy tone of our relationship.

Agreed. Men are repelled by that combination.

Soy Boys aren’t.

The Democrats did a “Bud Light” (/spit) campaign over the past decades after being assured by experts that the People were craving for such depravity.

Then they got the same results.
