Let's be real, this isn't an ALL young men problem. It's a white straight young men problem and if "investing in them" comes at ignoring the more reliable voting blocs in the coalition, or the social cancer that the Manosphere is, you risk losing more than you gain.
Some key takeaways from newly released research on young men:
- Just 22% say Trump is “fighting for them”
- 27% say Trump “hasn’t delivered”
- JD Vance has lower favorability than Andrew Tate
Democrats have a massive opportunity to bring young men back, but only if they choose to invest in them.

What I learned from January 6th and its aftermath is that Republicans and the wealthy U.S. elite *hate* Americans. They really hate us, as a core part of their identity. When we have an election that chooses someone other than them, they lose their shit, drop all pretense, and murder people.

I understand that the goal is to focus their messaging on Affordability and all but I am tired of the twelve dimensional chess framing

Chris Murphy: "At some level he's winning tonight because clearly part of his intent here was to distract the American people -- you and I -- from what's happening here at home. You have 20 million families who are getting massive increases in their healthcare premiums. People will die."

Yeah, people are fixating on a Cabinet Secretary being given a sovereign country to run because the president waged war without congressional approval and kidnapped the old leader. Weird that they’d get hung up on that.
WELKER: Mr. Secretary, are you running Venezuela right now?
MARCO RUBIO: Yeah. People are fixating on that. Here's the bottom line -- we expect to see changes in Venezuela

Bitch, Asheville is a blue college town and the county has gone blue for decades. I am so sick of this “if I pretend disasters only happen to red areas, it means I’m safe because I’m properly on the left!” No. You’re not safe. That’s why we save everybody.

Hundreds of residents signed up for FEMA buyouts after Hurricane Helene. Not one has been approved.

The Ministry of Truth caring more about the reaction on social media than the outcome of the military operation.
They’ve got Twitter up on the big screens in Trump’s Mar-a-Lago makeshift “situation room.”

You know, it’s plausible that this was done without a plan for what comes after because the only real goal was to get video of US troops looking cool arresting Marudo so it can be posted Online. It seems to be the only thing that matters to this administration.

Much of the press will call this a “successful mission” when it is the random act of a madman and there is no way to measure success in the present of any act of war, particularly an illegal one. All we have is history to tell us that US interventions overseas are usually disastrous.

I think everyone should have food, water, shelter, and medical care. Even if they are not very smart. Even if they annoy me. Even if they're addicted or have committed crimes or don't have jobs. I think everyone should have those things because they're human and they are alive. It's that simple.
