Democrats to spend $20 million on ‘strategic plan’ to win back obliterated male vote
Mega donors, DNC apparatchiks, and activists have been floating a bold new scheme to win back the male vote the party hemorrhaged in 2024: the $20 million “Speaking with American Men: A Strategic Plan.”
Via The New York Times (emphasis added):
The gender gap — which had long benefited Democrats — helped Republicans in 2024 as men swung harder to the right.
Now, top party officials, activists and donors are broadly weighing how to rebuild, and reassessing how to speak to voters, how to listen to them and how to reach those who have tuned out entirely…
The prospectus for one new $20 million effort, obtained by The Times, aims to reverse the erosion of Democratic support among young men, especially online. It is code-named SAM — short for “Speaking with American Men: A Strategic Plan” — and promises investment to “study the syntax, language and content that gains attention* and virality in these spaces.” It recommends buying advertisements in video games, among other things.
“Above all, we must shift from a moralizing tone,” it urges.
*Consider the way these people talk about young men and their preferences and desires: “investment to 'study the syntax, language and content that gains [male] attention.'” It’s as if they are some alien race come down to Earth armed with stethoscopes and magnifying glasses to study the native species in its natural environment.

In reality, the Democrat machine is, in fact, so disconnected from the electorate that the alien metaphor is entirely apropos.
The people who run the party, and make oodles of money off of it, have nothing in common with the peasants.
They don’t know any peasants who aren’t their housekeepers; they don’t know how the peasants think; they don’t understand their desires and fears; and above all, they care only insofar as they need their votes every election cycle but beyond that couldn’t be less interested in what the serfs want.

They thought they could shove the Karamel-uh entity down voters’ throats with the usual accusations of racism and transphobia or whatever nonsense if they didn’t exude proper enthusiasm — like when Democrat overseer Barack Obama got sent out to Pennsylvania to metaphorically beat “the bruthas” back into line:
We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout [for Kamala Harris] in all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running…
That seems to be more pronounced with the bruthas…
You’re coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses. I’ve got a problem with that….
Because part of it makes me think— and I’m speaking to men directly— part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.
Somehow, amazingly, that dripping disdain and condescension emanating from a man who lives in Martha’s Vineyard and hardly ever had anything in common with American blacks in the first place — he grew up with his non-black grandparents in Hawaii and later relocated to Indonesia — didn’t do the trick.
The party and their legacy corporate media partners have dumped probably millions of dollars already into consultant-enriching projects ostensibly designed to figure out why young men won’t do what they’re told to do and vote Democrat.
It’s really not that complicated: Democrats hate young men — young white men, in particular — and tell them so nonstop.
But how else could the consultants grease their palms in an election off-year?
