Surreal New Harris Ad Doubles Down on Failure to Court Men
The reason men don’t support Kamala Harris isn’t because she’s a woman or she’s black or whatever other nonsense the Democrats are trying to conjure up as the reason she’s hemorrhaging male voters.
Just when you thought Democrats couldn’t get any worse with men, they do something so utterly baffling it makes you question whether they’re even trying to win the demo at all.
Harris’ attempts to woo male voters started off poorly with a lecturing from former President Barack Obama, who urged black men to stop making “excuses” for why not to vote for her.
“You’re coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses. I’ve got a problem with that,” Obama told a crowd in Pennsylvania. “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.”
The blowback was as instantaneous as it was bipartisan. Democrat Nina Turner excoriated Obama on CNN asking “Why are black men being lectured to? “Why are black men being belittled in ways that no other voting group is? Now, a lot of love for former President Obama, but for him to single out black men is wrong.”
Turner found allies on the other side of the aisle including former Congressman Vernon Jones. Jones tweeted “Barack Obama should be ashamed for berating, rebuking and scolding black men, because they won’t vote for Madam Lock Up A Brother…Kamala Harris. As if we are too stupid to vote our interests and what is best for ourselves and our families. BO, you owe every Black man in America an apology, effective immediately.”
Shockingly, Obama’s scolding was not the worst thing for Harris’ chances at winning male voters in 2024. That dubious honor goes to a terribly cringey ad featuring a bunch of leftist manlets cosplaying as ordinary Joes.
Like last time, Democrats decided that the best way to court a voting bloc that is increasingly becoming a Republican mainstay is to talk down to them and belittle them. And like last time, it went over as well as day-old vomit.
I’m going to ask you to watch this one too. I swear I’m not doing this because I like it, but it is essential that you understand exactly the nature of the longhouse beast we’re dealing with here.
It’s okay now. The strangely shaped man can’t hurt you anymore.
It’s worth noting that the ad isn’t officially from the Harris/Walz campaign. But it doesn’t have to be official to be a perfect encapsulation of what the Democratic Party stands for. You could never imagine Donald Trump making an ad like this. It just seems so antithetical to what the GOP stands for.
The strange postures adopted by many of the guys in the clip, the on the nose references to “manly” things like beer, cars, and weightlifting. And the fact that everyone just feels off, like they’re acting what they think men are as opposed to just being men. It’s a total disaster.
It was such a disaster that the ad’s creator Jacob Reed, a former producer for Jimmy Kimmel, tried to do damage control and claimed the ad was “tongue in cheek” and not meant to be taken seriously.
In a Substack post describing the ad, Reed wrote, "With the rise of role models like Tim Walz and Doug Emhoff on the national stage, I think the left is finally finding its footing on how to talk about masculinity — I think we’re overdue for a redefinition of what it means to be a man in America and I hope this campaign can start to shape that conversation.”
I guess assaulting women and faking military service is what real masculinity looks like.
The reason why Democrats are failing to appeal to men is because they’re attempting to appeal to us like women. They’re using social shame to pressure us into voting for them instead of logically explaining why they’re better. REAL men vote for Harris, you’re a REAL man aren’t you?
Yes, I’m a real man, but I couldn’t give three shits about what these people think of me.
The reason men don’t support Kamala Harris isn’t because she’s a woman or she’s black or whatever other nonsense the Democrats are trying to conjure up as the reason she’s hemorrhaging male voters. It’s because she’s really bad at being in charge. And the scolding just makes it worse.
She has governed over unprecedented incursions at the southern border allowing for low skill migrant labor to replace jobs that American men used to do. Inflation is out of control, meaning the purchasing power of the men who provide for their families is severely weakened. She’s a scion of the party that can’t even define what a man or a woman is, yet still claims to represent them.
Why on Earth would any man hand her the keys to power?
Democrats are failing to course correct as the November election hurtles ever closer. Party operatives are already sounding the alarm that even minute shifts in male voting patterns could cause an avalanche of down ballot effects resulting in a massive GOP win. With ads like these in circulation, Democrats will have their work cut out for them trying to convince men to back them.
As someone with personal experience being a man, I doubt they can do it.
