Kamala’s struggles with men are being exacerbated by her tendency to belittle them
An inconvenient truth for Kamala Harris’ campaign, and the left as a whole, recently surfaced – they are facing a significant issue with attracting male voters. There appears to be a lack of interest from men in her candidacy, and even black male voters are showing a preference for Trump, a trend that is concerning for Harris as the election approaches. According to New York Times Sienna polls, Trump currently holds an 11-point lead over Harris among men.
With only three weeks left until election day, the campaign is making efforts to appeal to male voters, but their methods have been met with criticism. Rather than engaging men in a meaningful way, the campaign has resorted to belittling them and using questionable tactics to try to win them over.
Former President Barack Obama recently criticized black men in Pittsburgh for lacking “energy” in supporting Harris, insinuating that some men may have reservations about a female president. This statement received backlash and highlighted the disconnect between the campaign and male voters.
Attempts to sway male voters have included questionable advertisements and outreach efforts that have missed the mark. The campaign’s focus on gender stereotypes and assumptions about masculinity have only added to the issues they are facing in garnering support from men.
This disconnect with male voters is not a new development. The campaign’s approach and messaging have contributed to a larger trend of alienating men in recent years, with the focus on toxic masculinity and gender politics that fail to resonate with many male voters.
As the election approaches, it is clear that the campaign’s strategy to appeal to men has not been successful, and their attempts to engage male voters have fallen flat. If they continue down this path, it may result in significant consequences for their chances in the election.
