Kamala Harris has a problem with men. While she attempts to downplay the issue, the campaign is obviously taking it seriously, or as seriously as an operation run by a consultant class that doesn’t include many straight men under 40 can.
Former President Barack Obama was dispatched to castigate the “brothers” for not supporting Harris, saying, “[P]art of it makes me think, and I’m speaking to men directly … 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.”
Outside groups have also noticed the lack of enthusiasm amongst men for a President Harris. These groups are wildly incompetent, producing things such as “Man Enough,” which is a masterclass in missing the mark. In the spot, several super manly actors proclaim their masculinity — from drinking barrel-proof whiskey neat to eating carburetors to hugging literal bears — before announcing their support for Harris.
As X user “a newsman” observed, “The entire media conversation around the insane gender divide in this election seems based on the idea that men are clearly doing something wrong in the political choices they’re making. Whereas women are making smart, noble decisions based on their own best interests, and the solution is that we just need to wear camo hats and legalize dealing drugs to make men see the light.”
