It’s Time for Democrats to Woo the Man Vote

63daddy · 2025-02-19T04:54:30+00:00

What this article and others miss is that the Democratic Party has been actively and strongly anti-male.

Just as advocating for women has won female voters, advocating discrimination against men has lost male voters.

It’s really not hard to understand, but as long as the Democratic Party refuses to acknowledge and address this obvious problem, there’ll continue to lose men’s votes.

This article spends the majority of its time talking about how the US won't vote for a female Presidential candidate. And how important the 2024 US election was in protecting the rights of "historically marginalized" communities. Oh, and did you know that Trump was "crude", "insulting to wominists", and a convicted felon? <Sigh.>

When it finally gets around to the topic of men it kicks off by dismissing the entire male demographic with the following:

But as a longtime privileged group, men are typically not on the Democratic Party’s list of aggrieved voter groups looking for government to protect them from discrimination or other harm.

Good luck ever getting men to vote for your political platform with a divisive, hateful, and extremist mindset that is based on "historical privilege". Seriously, the left is clueless when it comes to men.

If you watch “Shoe on Head’s” take on the Dems’ problems with the male vote, the Dems ain’t gonna try to get men to vote for them for at least a generation.

They can't, they are too far gone. The party has to be overhauled. I mean, whether what comes about is called the Democratic party does not matter. But the Democratic party, as it exists now has to disappear.

What's really funny from what I've observed about a lot of progressives is that a lot of them will have no problem if we are referring to say "Black man" or "Asian man" or any other man as long as its not "white", but the moment you generalize it to just "man", you can see a day and night difference in their attitude, as if I'm talking about rapists, murderers, or pedophiles and having a skin color on the man makes him something else completely.

This illogical identity politics as well as the "hierarchy of oppression" which are so prominent amongst mainstream progressives is one of the rasons why I never really identified as a liberal.

Anyways, "appealing to men", will most likely be a political suicide for any political party in my opinion, since neither side seem to actually cares about men's issues. Men are always going to be the oppressors or disposable tools for any side.

Not even a chance. They have proven themselves untrustworthy and disingenuous.

The left hates independent young men so much they can’t even pretend to respect them for a split second, even just to win an election. Think about that the next time you vote.

Is0prene · 2025-02-19T05:40:19+00:00

You mean to tell you me that you can't call an entire group of people privileged, take as many things as you can away from them, make it so every other group of people have an advantage at getting ahead of them in life, and expect them to still vote for you?

Gee that's a shocker...

But lets post a bunch of pictures of them and try to alienate them even further. I'm sure that is a step in the right direction.

Bravo_Juliet01 · 2025-02-19T03:51:56+00:00

I have 0 desire to vote for a Democrat

corporate_robot_dude · 2025-02-19T03:27:50+00:00

Most people think Trump is an idiot, but they'll still vote for him out of spite for the Democrats. All the talking heads can't seem to understand why men are turning more conservative. It's because the Democrats are a representation of how modern society has been trashing men. Woke agendas, DEI crap, feminism, the list goes on.

aries0413 · 2025-02-19T05:34:09+00:00

I 'll believe it when I see it.

deltronroberts · 2025-02-19T03:49:43+00:00

No man with any sense or testicles would go Democrat at this point.

Francis_Dollar_Hide · 2025-02-19T02:32:18+00:00

Don't be their useful idiots!

motosandguns · 2025-02-19T02:46:00+00:00

Not a chance.

robinson217 · 2025-02-19T04:33:10+00:00

By every metric of my birthplace, education, and life situation, I should be solid a Democrat voter. Unfortunately for them, I have eyes and brain. Never going back. If Tulsi Gabard and Bill Maher ran against Sarah Palin and Mitch McConnell, I might vote D. But that won't happen.

FindingPepe · 2025-02-19T02:26:34+00:00

Or it’s time for the Man Vote to invade the Democratic Party. Bring back some badly needed masculine energy to the dems.

A country should have two+ viable parties for mainstream populations. Not the gender war bullshit that we are stuck with today.

KelVarnsenIII · 2025-02-19T04:21:29+00:00

I've been telling them this since 2016. I get crickets from them. They just don't seem to understand it.

Hyphalex · 2025-02-19T08:45:37+00:00

that status quo is gone. now its just hoes and hollywood

PriestKing74 · 2025-02-19T14:38:05+00:00

The Democrat party has been demonizing men for the last 20 years. How any man can vote Democrat is a true wonder to me. To support people who view you, as a man, are the source of all the world's evils. And in the last few years, the left has left the left. They are extremists now. Screaming that its the far right that is the problem. No. The right has been in the same place its been for decades. You just moved so far to the left that you see the mid-right as far-right.

BigJman123 · 2025-02-19T12:47:06+00:00

It's time for democrats to fuck off lol

Deep-Instruction3647 · 2025-02-19T13:16:25+00:00

Every one is making good points but voting for the other side is most definitely not in our best interests .since they pretend to care about our issues but the reality is they don't. (Alot of men voted for trump thinking it would help thier standing i am not to sure about that.) Just my 2 cents.

On another note we need to push for more male help lines etc. (Rape shelters...etc) women arnt going to do it for us and neither are the conservatives.

Throning · 2025-02-19T13:56:11+00:00

I think the big thing is that, in 2016 with Hilary, she did win the popular vote, by about 3 million votes. Painting it the way they are, trying to frame it like "no one liked her because she was a woman, waaah!" is disingenuous to the popular vote result; and otherwise comes off as dismissive of understanding the electoral college and why we have it. Can't really pull the sexism victimhood card here.

Same thing about Kamala lost cuz she's black. Well, again, no, we had Obama, and he won consecutive elections, with reasonably positive approval polls. Can't really pull the racism victimhood card here, either.

It couldn't possibly be that competence (and a voter's ability to determine and judge that competence) was at stake? Hillary was hot off the heels of the Benghazi investigation where we never will know whatever happened to those email servers. And Kamala is really forgettable for having done practically nothing significant during her time as VP. Both are arguments to validate their competence; and Hillary failed spectacularly IMO, with Kamala not doing enough to 'prove' competence. Trump may not be perfect (given the felony conviction), or some questionable actions during his previous administration; but his past presidential term offers an argument for "better" competence, and familiarity with being chief executive, than either his opponents in those respective elections had.

It couldn't possibly be that both 2016 and 2024 operated on campaigns of platitudes; very little of them enticing to men beyond the typical stuff we hear from all candidates every election cycle; lower taxes and fixed reforms to various parts of government. Rather instead, both campaigns eventually boiled down to "Yeah, well I'm not Trump, cuz orange man bad!" argumentation. Which any person (regardless of gender) really should rethink the basis for voting however they're going to vote, if that's what the Democrat Campaigns became. It's kind of ironic they functionally repeated that same strategy in 2024, not gunna lie.

It couldn't possibly be that the Democratic party, and it's long list of allied organizations and institutions, have been predominantly anti-male. Often browbeating a message of "Men are bad, and you should feel bad cuz you're a man, everything is your fault, and screw you, you don't need help because all men are the cause of everything bad everywhere." - they pretty it up, sure, but they are simply more 'associated' with it. Then they're wondering why men don't want to support a broad political group associated with calling men scum of the earth (even if indirectly). Real head scratcher, that one.

As far as I'm concerned, all this article (and others like it) do is highlight a necessity for the Left, to have someone to blame that isn't themselves; a necessity for a scapegoat, and since ideologically it isn't them, it must be someone (anyone) else. Young men here, even though this article tries to be relatively 'polite' about it, are yet again having a target painted on their backs. It hardly comes off as a genuine discussion to actually find out why young men voted the way they did, as much as it is make their assumptions sound like explanations while still pointing the finger; with of course some finger-wagging and "bad dog, bad!" tone of rhetoric.

Honestly, the Democratic party didn't really see men turn to Republicans or Trump in 2016 or 2024. Instead they simply saw the result of what a 2-party, 2 candidate system produces when they piss off a significant chunk of one half of the population - they saw men not voting Democrat, and the only other option on the ticket was Trump. It reverts to "lesser of two evils" argument - which Democrats should really be all too familiar with, and their party was seen as the "greater".

How do you exactly expect them to do anything differently? Democrats are broken within themselves in terms of ideology. Ideology A brings men. Ideology B brings women. They can't have it both ways. The cultural dilemma that the democrats are in isn't an easy fix. People can barely take accountability and you expect them to take accountability over the two decades of mistakes they made, because they were too hung over the idea that they understand men better than men, so they needed more female representation for men. The party has become a joke written by itself. They have become the (class) elitists that believe that anyone, but men should lead. Why? because they thought they could do it better. They were wrong. They won't accept that they're unfit to lead, so they still like cancer to the party.

You do realize that if you got your desire of weapons for the "revolutionaries", it wouldn't remotely work out the way you envision?

CostRains · 2025-02-19T09:12:44+00:00

Democrats and Obama passed the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act in 2009. which made it easier for women to sue if they were paid less than men for the same work, and immediately the Republicans started this "Democrats hate men" narrative which still continues today.

Despite all the rhetoric, Democrats have done absolutely nothing to hurt men. I am a lawyer and I understand what the law actually is, rather than what the media tells you. But conservatives have created this narrative of "Democrats hate men", the media has run with it, and it has become very effective in brainwashing men, as the comments on this thread demonstrate.

Its time for the DEM to hand out free rifle and start the revolution, its probably more likely to work than"wooing man"
