The Democratic Party is puzzled by its decline in support among young male voters, prompting a substantial investment in research to understand this demographic. Critics suggest that the party's approach, characterized by a focus on toxic masculinity and cultural issues dismissing traditional male interests, has alienated these voters. DNC vice chair David Hogg points out that young men prefer candidates with whom they may not agree entirely but who make them feel accepted, rather than judged or ostracized for their identity. This highlights a disconnect within the party's leadership regarding effective engagement with young male voters.
What I think happened last election is younger men - they would rather vote for somebody who they don't completely agree with [but] who they don't feel judged by, than somebody who they do agree with [but] that they feel like they have to walk on eggshells around constantly because they're going to be judged or ostracized or excommunicated.
It's all the man-bashing. Progressives waged war on toxic masculinity, insisting that we should 'believe all women' and claiming that red meat is a right-wing thing.
