Miranda Devine: The Dems’ attempt to become the party of ‘manly men’ proves they’re getting dumb and dumber
New York Post ^ | July 15, 2026, 10:22 p.m. ET | Miranda Devine

It’s hilarious that snot-nosed socialist svengali Morris Katz, the Mamdani whisperer, is reportedly trash-talking Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s chances as the Democrat presidential candidate for 2028 — reportedly because he says a woman can’t win.

The left always eats its own in the end.

We knew Democrats were trying to rebrand as the party of “Manly Men” but they’ve really taken this new masculinity jag off a cliff.

Katz, who plucked accused rapist Graham Platner out of obscurity only to see him flame out in the Maine Senate race, reportedly wanted his bearded protégé to be the Dems’ 2028 nominee — mainly because he is a man.

The rationale of the 26-year-old Mamdani adviser was explained by a source quoted in The Post this week:

“You make this guy [Platner] senator, and then you make this guy president because, in large part, Morris [Katz] and like this whole sector of the left do not believe that AOC can win because she’s a woman.”

Hope the pussy hats are paying attention.

Democrats doubled down on their “The Future is Female” mission after Hillary Clinton lost in 2016. In the process of demonizing masculinity, they evolved into an unattractive party of suburban scolds and Trump-deranged crazies with a smattering of henpecked beta males and men in dresses for gender balance.

Kam ‘Brat Summer’

By the time of the disastrous ­Kamala “Brat Summer” campaign of 2024, men had deserted the Democrats in droves.

TX people are too uninformed to evaluate Talarico at this point. Maybe an active campaign against him would help expose the obvious.

Manly Men? I personally think that the Democrat Party should back Bud Light tranny Dylan Mulvaney for president in 2028. He (she?) checks off a lot of the right boxes. And that includes being oppressed by white society.

The only problem is that Mulvaney is not an ethnic minority. No worries. Just put Mulvaney in touch with Sen. Elizabeth Warren. She’ll tell Mulvaney how to manufacture ethnic minority status.

Ode to Graham Platner:

He’s an oysterman and he’s OK
He wears a towel and he is not gay

[He’s an oysterman and he’s OK
He wears a towel and he is not gay]

He open shells, he bares his chest
He sports a huge tatoo
It is a Nazi symbol
and that’s a big taboo.

He opens shells, he pulls out meat
He wanks in the lavat’ry
“Blue water, it’s excitin’
And its fragrence pleasures me.”

Their idea of manly men comes off as about as authentically masculine as the Village People.

That "Ode" is outstanding. Kudos!

I'll just add...

Everywhere is
Freaks and Hairies
Dykes and Fairies
Tell me where is sanity?

1) Toxic masculinity is a huge problem! Down with the patriarchy!
2) Well, if we have to support a man, I guess a nice guy like Platner in Maine isn’t a bad choice at all.
3) Okay. Platner is a Nazi rapist pedophile type of guy. A Little bit toxic ... we’ll ditch him.
4) But we are the party of manly men. Who don’t rape.
5) AOC? Seriously? A woman can’t win! We are the party of manly men! Like Telarico and Gavin Newsom!!

“””The only problem is that Mulvaney is not an ethnic minority. “”””

They turned Kamala “black” for the 2024 election. They might try it again with a he/she/it.

In the case of Platner they were shooting for the “party of rednecks”.

The last time the Democrats won with a white male was 1996 (apart from the stolen election of 2020).

Maximus,

I find your entry so correct but I would like to add to it if I may:

The phrase “real man” lacks a single, objective definition. Its meaning is deeply subjective and heavily influenced by personal values, cultural context, and generational shifts.

Since no one seems to know what a real man is, how can they change to it? And they can never agree with even themselves as they don’t know either. They only say they do. And you and I can do that if we trade reality for agenda.

But I know most of what a real BSer is and the liberal party is highly qualified if they think they can define the singularly undefinable.
