In reply to the discussion: Our side needs to attack "bro culture" [View all]mr715
(2,802 posts)42. Depends how we build our party
We can probably build a coalition without young white men, but we need every vote we can get.
I, likewise, have no real answers. I think things like "toxic masculinity" is buzzy and triggers those young, white men that want to be triggered.
The way to win these voters back is through charisma or very clearly articulated policy objectives (a very popular platform likely to be implemented).
My best friend is lost to Rogan. There is a slippery slope from asking questions to believing everything. This is a POC from the big city and a public sector employee.
So, submitted, if we want "bros" how do you think we open the party to them without surrendering core values?

I don't like the 'real life' version either. It all wreaks of unearned privilege.
