Democrats allocated $20 million to study how to reach out to young men in America, only to arrive at conclusions many are calling painfully predictable.
Initial results of the pricey multi-year endeavor to view men like some anthropological study have, thus far, yielded the obvious—that the Democratic party is viewed as weak and inauthentic with their outreach, expressing disdain for males by constantly telling them they need to be ashamed of who they are.
I'm sure more than a few readers would have been willing to give that information to the DNC for a fraction of the cost.
Initial findings, shared with POLITICO, show laughably evident results for a project Democrats have dubbed the Speaking with American Men project. Or SAM, for short. (In reality, the acronym would be SWAM, but who's counting?)
The outlet notes that the project on how to speak to men has, at this point, conducted 30 focus groups and a national survey, only to find ... they still don't know how to speak to men.
Democrats, the outlet notes, are viewed by men as "overly-scripted and cautious."
“Democrats are seen as weak, whereas Republicans are seen as strong,” Ilyse Hogue, co-founder of SAM, told POLITICO. “Young men also spoke of being invisible to the Democratic coalition, and so you’ve got this weak problem and then you’ve got this ‘I don’t think they care about me’ problem, and I think the combination is kind of a killer.”
