Democrats know they have a problem with men, particularly the young men who have drifted away from them in recent years.
But six months after the gender gap contributed to the party’s disappointing showing in last year’s election, top Democrats are still throwing spaghetti at the wall, lacking a unified theory on how to win these voters back.
Some are trying to break into the culturally conservative podcasts that have thrived at building big audiences of Gen Z men. Some are ceding ground on issues Democrats have long seen as sacred in the culture war, while others insist that the party’s current message will work. Some are pitching grand plans about funding a new influencer ecosystem that subtly boosts the left.
At the center of all of this is an acknowledgement that public opinion on the Democratic Party has dipped to an all-time low, men are souring on the party especially quickly, and losing ground with about half the voting population isn’t a recipe for success. It’s weighing heavily on the minds of Democrats while making Republicans giddy: On Friday, President Donald Trump needled Democrats for wanting to “spend money to learn how to talk” to men.
Jeff Horwitt, a Democratic pollster with Hart Research Associates (who conducts the NBC News poll with a Republican counterpart), told NBC News that a look at recent presidential exit poll results shows that “when Democrats do well broadly with men, they are competitive. When Democrats are not competitive with men, Democrats lose.” And while Horwitt doesn’t believe Republicans “have a lock on young men,” the GOP spoke to their economic anxiety in 2024 in a way that loomed large in 2024.

Wages are way down and Democrats don’t seem to realize that because of this there is no incentive at all for men to buy into the rest of their social bs.
Yes, they are down because of relativity with inflation, but thats the problem. Cost of living is too high ergo the wage and job prospects are just not considered worth it.
Pert of the problem is foreign labor being the recourse most companies are using for many types of jobs.
Its a several point problem.
Rats are dishonest, disingenuous, power-chasing, anti-American phonies and most people get that now.
Screw them . . . and the horse they rode in on. . . .
The “culture war” the authors cited is a major part of the problem and there’s no point in telling the activists to shut up, they’ve won control of the party. The Democrat strategy has devolved into “Why do people we openly hate not vote for us?” The clue is in the question. And “How do we find a set of lies the suckers will believe?” isn’t the solution.
It’s doubtful that there’s a real man left in the insane communist RAT party...
Democrats are also losing blacks!
Youtube is now trending with BLACK FATIGUE and most are put up by blacks stating they too are “fatigue” by what they call “ghetto culture”, and they are blaming the Democrats for it.
Men have figured out Democrats are the party that evil people choose. A mere messaging change is not going to fix that.
The Rats pander to whatever women want regardless of how it impacts men then wonder why men don’t vote for Rats.
They’re never gonna get it, till the Spirit of The Beer Can Bitch is entirely expunged.
Someone should tell Pete Buttigieg that growing a beard isn’t going to make him part of the ‘manosphere’ any more than getting out of his car a block from the Coleman Federal Building, so he can say he rides his bike to work each day.
Us men are simple. We want the love of a good woman, financial security, and to be left alone. NONE of these are things that the left is happy with. And the younger men are noticing it. (Finally!).
The left has said that they want to find their own Joe Rogan. They don’t mean an open-minded talk show host who will talk to anyone about anything, they mean someone with enough name recognition and popularity to be able to sway voters to their side. Their idea of a “Joe” would be someone who only ever interviewed people who agreed with the left’s ideals, and toed the line. Someone that Kamala would have felt comfortable with knowing that no hard questions would have been asked, and that her people would have been able to get complete editorial control over what was released.
“Jeff Horwitt, a Democratic pollster with Hart Research Associates”. Why don’t you consult with Joey Biden Jeff?
I just really REALLY want that ugly fat chick to keep being their main advisor on how to talk to men.
RATS have a strategy.
Democrats proved their worth and where they stand with their actions of coupdetat with the Biden term he was only a stage prop for the who knows what party involved next time they won’t give up the office if they win again.
From what I've seen, it's mostly Black men who voted Trump.
They may eventually return to the Democratic Party after Trump and the Democrats stop being so WOKE.
Tell the truth. Say you are socialist and provide how you will make America a utopian paradise. Tell us your plans for the military, the economy and how you will accomplish it. Messaging is just rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic.
20 million doesn’t go very far when you’re proposing a party-wide tackadicktome procedure
The dems still have no idea why they lost the last election. In that regard this man campaign will fail as well. Both situations demonstrate a disconnect from reality.
