[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s a pretty eye-opening thread on the front page of Reddit titled “Why so many men feel abandoned by the Republican party”.  Lots of insightful commentary from all kinds of people.

As a white, male, never-Trumper I’ve been trying to get my head around how so many people could even consider voting for him.  My son’s friends all voted Trump which is confusing because their values all align very closely with Democrats: equality, environmental sustainability, affordable housing, etc.

This Reddit thread helps me understand how this loss happens.  Men feel they don’t have a voice in the democratic party.  They have to apologize for their privilege before they can even speak - and even then, they’re likey to be labeled an “ist” and told to go work on themselves.

When you alienate such a large voting block it impacts election results.

The democratic party needs to refocus on its ideals (which are sound) rather than demographics and be truly inclusive.
