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.
Again, I’m not sure where I see Democrat politicians kicking men. Do you have examples of actual policies that Democratic politicians vote for, or don’t vote for, that are ostracizing men?
Do I see plenty of liberal activists doing what I think is performative and ridiculous bullshit practically designed - maybe even literally crafted and designed to do exactly that- to peel men away from the Democratic Party?
Oh hell yes I do.
A nearly textbook case of this I could point to is what BoingBoing’s comment section turned into. I honestly don’t know if it was a psyop or just a case of people being really really stupid. Anyway, right after they achieved peak liberal (oh, excuse me, I called them “liberal” which they find deeply offensive, LOL, and insist on being called “leftists”, by Athena, and don’t you ever forget it, you shitlibs!) caricature and maintained that for a few years, it was taken behind a paywall.
Just in time for PEDOnald’s second term, by the way. Very interesting.
But do I think these overly vocal and terminally online are really the Democratic Party, most importantly, the Democratic candidates actually running for office or in office?
Not even close. But I know that Faux “News” loves to go nutpicking and find quotes from the fringiest of the fringe and declare that there is a war on men or whatever.
One place that young male voters found a sense of community and culture, Democrats say, is in the loose collection of podcasts often dubbed the “manosphere.”
These podcasts — hosted by comedians such as Joe Rogan, Theo Von, Tim Dillon and Andrew Schulz — often make "you feel like you’re not alone,” Litman said.
“It’s funny, often very funny. It’s a little subversive or often very subversive. It feels intimate. You get to know the hosts over the course of hours and hours of conversation: their lives and their, their personalities and their quirks, and I think that is really special. Like, the parasocial relationship can be very powerful,” she added.

The problem could be simply that Democrats did not attempt to connect with young men. Kamala Harris refused to appear in Joe Rogan’s podcast. From https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/democrats-dip-manosphere-search-key-young-male-vote-rcna243890
