Democrats have a man problem, and belittling them is only making it worse

Late last week an inconvenient truth for Kamala Harris’ campaign, and the left as a whole, emerged: They have a man problem.Dudes just aren’t into her.And the current veep is losing ground with black male voters — as Trump is increasingly attracting demographics that traditionally leaned Democrat.According to the New York Times Sienna polls, Trump has an 11-point lead over Harris among men.And with three weeks to go before election day, the campaign and its surrogates have launched a Hail Mary or an “Our Father” to appeal to the not-so-fairer sex.Incredibly, their strategy to sway men to a feckless presidential candidate is to belittle them, call them misogynists and reduce them to Carhartt caricatures.It was like they saw the damage of JD Vance’s haunting “childless cat lady” comment from 2021 and said, hold my Bud Light.On Thursday, Barack Obama scolded a group of black men in Pittsburgh over their lack of “energy” for Harris.“I’ve got a problem with that because — because part of it makes me think, and I’m speaking to men directly now, part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president,” he said.Unsurprisingly, it caused quite a bit of backlash.

Though I can’t imagine “The View” host Sunny Hostin smoothed things over on Monday, saying, “We’ve got to reach those ridiculous, crazy black men that did vote for Trump.”Nice.Over the weekend Tim Walz went pheasant hunting which led to unfortunate comparisons of Elmer Fudd and accusations of LARPing.And this push was not without amusement — not intentionally.On Friday morning, the hilarious “Man Enough” commercial dropped online.

While not an official Harris/Walz ad it was created by a collective of creatives trying to elect them.The ad features various male actors butched up in flannels, jeans and gym clothes with one even propped up in the back of a pickup truck looking more dainty and demure than blue collar...
