Democrats eyeing 2028 court the "manosphere"

Ambitious Democrats are increasingly jumping into a universe of podcasts and internet shows they once shunned: right-leaning ones geared toward men.

Why it matters: President Trump won the majority of male voters last November — and made huge gains among those under 30, a group Joe Biden had won in 2020. Now Democrats are scrambling to counter Trump's version of masculine appeal.

The "manosphere"?

I haven't heard that expression used seriously in maybe ten years.

'...scrambling to counter Trump's version of masculine appeal.

That's going to be a steep hill to climb...

[posterchild]

They really need to ramp up the cringy ‘men for kamala’ type commercials.

What’s the manosphere? Sissy boys who are afraid of lesbians?

[Terry L Smith]

Can’t do it!

[joshua c]

hows bud light doing?

did they reclaim the manosphere?

[BobL]

“The “manosphere”? “

REAL MEN don’t kiss up to Illegals.

To put it another way, they have a LONG WAY TO GO.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Firing up the boyz with Sandy Cortez Gone Wild! Concerts.

[KC_Conspirator]

The same manosphere that they tried to cancel and throw in jail for the last 8-15 years? The same men that they smeared threw false allegations and fraudulent NGO faked studies?

They are not falling for it.

[MinorityRepublican]

The only “masculine” Democrat that I can think of is Fetterman.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

You take the Bathysphere to get the Manosphere.

[Biblebelter]

Democrats got nothing to populate the manosphere with other than Big Mike and Tank Abrams.

I’m afraid they are still pretty much the party of Tampon Timmy.

😂😂

[Harpotoo]

Can you really transition back to the manospere from the tranospere?-)

[Orosius]

The Dems would have better odds in the stratosphere.

[Red Badger]

They’re recruiting Dylan Mulvaney!..................

[lurk]

They’ve tried this.

Mike Dukakis in a tank.
The WaPo writer trying an AR and getting PTSD from it.
The Navy commander shooting an M4 with the sight mounted backward.
John Kerry trying to goose hunt.
Tim Walz trying to load a shotgun.

Compare that to Marine JD Vance shooting a Barrett on the range.

Exactly. They gotta do better than Tim Waltz and the “men” from her commercials.

I can only think of one reason why Dems would be “eyeing” the manosphere. Here’s a hint: it starts with HOMO.
