It claims Democrats prefer candidates they see as insulated from working-class male experiences and portrays mainstream media and entertainment as mocking fathers-portraying them as incompetent while mothers are shown as competent.<\/p>\n<p>The text argues this dynamic affected recent politics, pointing to voters rejecting candidates like Kamala Harris and portraying Tim Walz as a performance that many saw thru. It then uses the example of Graham Platner-described as a \u201cnormal guy\u201d who is a Marine veteran and oyster farmer-to suggest Democrats will defend such candidates but are fundamentally unable to back candidates who better connect with ordinary men. The author concludes that until internal party elites and people they label as \u201cmisandrists\u201d stop shaping discourse, Democrats will continue elevating candidates perceived as antagonistic to men.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Democrats have a big problem with men, and it goes way beyond losing them as voters.<\/p>\n<p>The party can\u2019t ever seem to find normal, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/viral-video-russia-army-ad-vs-new-woke-biden-era-u-s-army-ad-the-differences-are-stark\/\" title=\"Viral Video: Russia Army Ad Vs.

A majority of voters saw through the act and perceived Minnesota\u2019s governor as the prancing loser and cunning politician he turned out to be.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats saw the rejection, and a race that started in Maine now has them coming from every corner of the country to defend a guy with mounting and credible allegations of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/hated-women-explosive-abuse-new-nazi-tattoo-allegations-exes-rock-platners-campaign\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hate<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/06\/04\/us\/politics\/platner-maine-senate-girlfriends-relationships.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">abuse<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats are bending over backward to defend Graham Platner as a normal guy \u2014 a Marine veteran, an oyster farmer, a fighter for the little guy \u2014 dismissing his accusers and his privileged upbringing.<\/p>\n<p>The bigger issue isn\u2019t Walz or Platner. It\u2019s that Democrats are fundamentally unable to choose and back candidates who connect with normal men.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s probably a perfectly average, left-of-center husband, father, coach, or small business owner in Maine right now who could have run against Platner.<\/p>\n<p>But such a candidate never would have gotten the party\u2019s blessing.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats keep passing over normal guys, and it\u2019s because they despise normal guys.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why America has to keep meeting people like Walz and Platner.<\/p>\n<p>Until the focus group elites and the misandrists no longer control half of our political discourse, the candidates they keep elevating will keep reflecting the Democratic Party\u2019s outright hostility toward men.<\/p>\n<p>Much like men in women\u2019s sports, Graham Platner is effectively another symptom of end-stage feminism.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
