Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., said Democrats alienated young male voters by increasingly portraying men as "part of the problem" during a wide-ranging discussion with Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, and Donna Brazile about masculinity, parenting and the Democratic Party's struggles with working-class men.
"Well, without a doubt, though you know there's part of the Democratic Party became more and more anti-men or describing that they were part of the problem, or they have toxic traits," Fetterman said during the discussion on "Real Time with Bill Maher."
"And that's why there's been such a big, big migration away from the Democratic Party from young men, and that's that's really why, one of the parts why we lost in 2024."
The conversation began after host Bill Maher asked Fetterman about a statistic showing men are nearly twice as likely as women to still live with their parents in the current economy.
"We've lost the vote," Fetterman later said while discussing traditional union workers and male voters. "You talk to any of the traditional union members that are men. You know, they — we've lost them a long time ago."
Fetterman argued Democrats cannot rebuild support among male voters by blaming them for broader societal problems.
"Now if you identify anyone as the problem or blame them for some things, then you're going to lose," Fetterman said.

That’s not true. Democrats are pro-men. The are Pro-men who pretend to be women.

“Toxic masculinity” at its essence is not saying that there are some men who have toxic behaviors, which is true ... what they are saying is that masculinity itself, in any form, is toxic, which is bullshit.
May want to add:
Anti-American.
I knew I was missing a couple. Also, Anti-law-and-order
Fetterman meant men-men.
You’re getting warmer, Fetterman. The Democrats have become a terrorist organization.
Ask a Democrat why they never fought for equal privacy and reproductive rights for males, or why it makes sense to not hold females responsible for getting pregnant, but then make males pay and blame males for making or getting females pregnant. Isn’t it unscientific to talk about a pregnancy as being free to uproot a male “ seed” planted in your yard against your will or consent? In reality, it is a female egg being fertilized in her body, which then feeds & incubates her fertilized egg.
Arnie said this years ago. I believe the name was “girly men.”

He has ticked off two of the Democrat anti positions now. Israel and now men. Let’s see if he gets the Big one. Life.
That’s because the Rats party is now run by harpies who hate men.
