This is obviously prompted by the White Dudes for Kamala Harris group, but it is not limited to that. Seems like Democrats and liberals like to use the term "dude." Personally, as a male, I find it pretty cringey. Reeks of people who are trying to seem cool and relatable but have no real connection to the average guy. It is approaching Latinx status. I wish they would stop. |
All democrats don't do this. And why do people start inane threads? |

You should just add this to the whiners and losers thread. |
Just grasping at straws now, are we |
I guess you aren't familiar with the frat bro MAGAs at most of the SEC and adjacent schools? |
Right. Why do Republicans read something online and immediately attribute it to half of the people in the United States? |
But it is most prevalent among Democrats and liberals. I don't think it's inane. It may seem minor to you, but the gender gap is real. And the whole "dude" thing just makes it more apparent. Might as well trot out Ned Flanders to propose that "us dudes" have a talk about voting for Democrats. It's embarrassing and off-putting. There is also an undertone of condescension to it--like we're not even going to call you a "man" or "men," but rather "dudes." |
I said it seems most prevalent among Democrats. Not that all Democrats do it. Put your head in the sane all you want, but consider whether things like this contribute to pushing men away from the Democratic Party. It is embarrassing to listen to, and I would never associate with something like that. |
? do white men not call each other dude? |
If you were a man, you'd know that it isn't as common as you think, and it isn't in the dopey way that these political groups do it. |

Ok hon, you stay over there caring very much about men calling themselves dudes, and the rest of us will be over here trying to elect the person who doesn’t want to end American democracy. Deal? |
You do you, but you're a fool. You are pushing people away instead of listening. That is the Democrats problem. Same braindead as always. |
But the people who created "White Dudes for Harris" are presumably "white dudes", no? |
