Democrats blow millions to study ‘American Men’ in bid to win back working class

Democrats have blown millions of dollars on efforts to appeal to “American Men,” who turned to President Donald Trump in droves on election day, in the hopes of winning back the working class, according to a report. Democrats have spent $20 million on their efforts, with donors and strategists holing up in luxury hotel rooms brainstorming how to convince working-class men to return to the party, according to a New York Times report. The plan, code-named SAM, or “Speaking with American Men: A Strategic Plan,” promises to use the funds to “study the syntax, language and content that gains attention and virality in these spaces,” according to the report.

Democrats have "a 20 million plan" to win back the young male vote

A recently released report reveals that Democrats plan to spend $20 million as part of an elaborate plan to win back the vote of all the young men President Donald Trump took away in the last election. The initiative, recommends, among other things taken to the extreme, buying ads in online video games. According to an article in The New York Times, its code name is SAM, an abbreviation for "Speaking to American Men: A Strategic Plan," and it promises a large investment to "study the syntax, language and content that captures attention and goes viral in these spaces." "Democratic donors and strategists have been meeting in luxury hotels to discuss how to win back working-class voters and commissioning new projects that can read like anthropological studies of people from far-flung places," national political correspondent Shane Goldmacher wrote months ago.

Liberals fume at Dem soul-searching over losses with key voter groups taking place in swanky hotels: ‘This is embarrassing’

Among the strategy discussions was a $20 million effort codenamed SAM, “Speaking with American Men: A Strategic Plan,” which is working toward stemming Democrats’ hemorrhaging of young men. Some of its recommendations include purchasing more ads on video games and changing the party’s language towards men. SAM really underscored the need for Democrats to stop having such a “moralizing tone” toward men, according to the report. But all of that fanciness and high-brow activities is giving some liberal critics ivory tower vibes. Several key former staffers on the Biden and Harris campaigns publicly tore into party luminaries Sunday over a recent New York Times report detailing some of the large living by Democratic elites.
