This. Feminists, the public school system, sit coms, advertisers, and on and on have been shitting on the straight male for decades. It's the only demographic that can play the heel or be the butt of a joke. This has largely been driven by the left. Now they wonder why bros aren't listening to them.


About 15+ years ago, I would buy 60s & 70s TV series DVDs out of that bargain bin in the WalMart electronics section, and I raised my daughters mostly on them. The father figure was honored much more back then by the entertainment industry, and I didn’t want them getting indoctrinated by the BS of today.

The real issue lies not in the quality of their messaging, but in the content. I think Democrats could gain some popularity with the young male demographic if they focused on what to say and not how to say it.

If your platform doesn’t offer any content for a demographic, you need to re-evaluate your platform or stop throwing money at a fool’s errand.

I wager young men would listen to a message about healthcare, job creation and workers’ rights.

Is this the same group that voted in anti-gun, beta white male David Hogg as their vice chair, only to vote to remove him because he wasn’t diverse enough? Yeah, good luck courting men with that stance. They’re hopeless and helpless and wasting $20mill.

Matt Walsh summed it up pretty well yesterday, this study will result in nothing more than Democrats speaking to men as Youth Pastors have tried for decades to speak to youth. It lacks authenticity and will fail gloriously.

i.e.. Tim Walz.

Additionally, the study advised rolling out pro-Democrat ads in video games.

I really hope they do this.
Load up Candy Crush with Dem ads while you're at it.

study the syntax, language and content that gains attention and virality in these spaces


WTF does this even mean?


It means: "We need to figure out a way to word propaganda so they'll buy our bullshite and elect us so we can continue to dismantle the country"

It means they are true believers that personhood is strictly performative.

Idjits.

But the young "men" in the study will have to be diverse.

Then after 2 weeks the only straight white guy is going to get ejected for not using the right pronouns...

Sounds about right!

Don't pitch emotional appeal to men. The male brain relies more on logic. The female brain filters every message by thinking: 'Hmmm, what does he really mean by that?' The male brain doesn't have that filter.

Quit catering to "pride", and going after kids with all your "pride" ideology.

Quit calling me a terrorist

This conference was held at a fancy, elitist Ritz Carlton on the West Coast and a "consultant" was brought in to lead the conference. Menu was lobster this & shrimp that. One podcaster remarked that Democrats don't even know what a "man" is, how can they expect to relate to men?

Democrats...how to speak to "American men" .


Ditch the history as Boy Scout "leaders", effete language, Rainbow-NAMBLA support, blue hair and DEI indoctrination for starters.

Oh wait.

Stop telling men they're unnecessary. Stop Calling masculinity "Toxic".

They despise the very values that would appeal to the demographic they claim to want to appeal to.

It would require a complete overhaul of their current platform and values to broaden their base with that group beyond coastal urban types.

Don’t they have to be able to define a man and woman first?
