(ConservativeHQ) – Democratic strategist James Carville scolded his fellow Democrats last Tuesday for resorting to “future is female” rhetoric and turning a cold shoulder to men (1).
Asked by podcaster Daniel Koh whether the Democratic Party has a problem communicating with young men, Carville emphatically replied, “They do.” Carville went on to highlight how National Public Radio broadcasts, in particular, serve to insult and alienate men.
“They were told, ‘The future is female, you must always ‘believe the woman is never wrong,’ #MeToo,’” Carville said. “And men are like, ‘S—, do I count? What about my life?’”
Carville went on to mock Democratic messaging about men: “You go home, you want a cold beer, you want a hamburger, and you want to watch the football game.”“No, no!” Carville thundered, mocking the Democratic reply.
“You can’t do that! Not football. No. No. Hamburgers? How many calories does that have? Do you know what that does to you? Beer? No. You should be drinking a nice fruit spritzer or something.”
Carville concluded by deploring the overall media coverage of men:
“There are no television shows about these people anymore. They’ve been erased from the culture. We’ve just erased them,” he said of American men who feel ignored by the modern Democratic Party.
Carville is not the only Democrat who has criticized his party’s messaging strategy:
- Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut suggested that Democrats’ reluctance to discuss men’s issues, due to a fear of offending progressive sensibilities, has put them “on the back foot” with male voters (2).
- Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania has described the Democrats’ approach to male voters as “insulting” and “condescending.” He charged the party’s messaging often conveys a “I know better than you” attitude (3).
Republicans also are speaking out about men’s concerns. Last month President Donald Trump issued a Proclamation for Men’s Health Week that stated boldly, “For far too long, the health, happiness, and well-being of our Nation’s men have been neglected…This neglect has been compounded by a vicious campaign against masculinity…This war on manhood has left many American men in a state of loneliness, confusion, and emptiness.” (4)
Men are seen as the backbone of civilization (5). But American men are now lagging in 12 areas, such as shorter lifespans, fewer men in higher education, biased family courts, more severe treatment by the criminal system, neglect of male victims of domestic violence, and more (6).Lawmakers are urged to reach out with positive and supportive messages for male voters.
