I think progressives never thought about this because we banked on immigration and demographic change allowing us to win culturally and electorally but the issue is immigrants tend to be overwhelmingly male, that is how Trump won actually he won over a lot of Hispanic,Black,Asian and indigenous men who feel humiliated by a new culture, economy and world.

So what can we do rhetorically and policy wise to win more young men over ?

    Simple. What do young men care about? Getting laid and getting paid. Promise them that, and you’ll get their votes.

    You’ll need to use coded language, of course. But using coded language is politicians’ whole job.

        Imo, more childish to deny people’s basic needs and desires. They aren’t that complicated.

        Excuse the paradox, but if you think that you or anyone else isn’t a just kid that got old then you still need to grow the fuck up. Sex and wealth, the two reasons humans have done anything at all for millennia.
