I’ll never understand why neither Harris nor at least Walz didn’t fully pierce into the echo-chamber of the manosphere.
I thought this was half the point of picking Walz who could hold his own on guns and sports with Joe Rogan and all that shit.
The closest Harris got was… Going on on Howard Stern? Gen Z men aren’t listening to Stern.
Edit: I know why. They miscalculated (and I did, too). They thought women alone would turn out in a proportion greater than the historically-low turnout of young men. More than that, millions just fell for the both sides disinfo ops and sat out. But that doesn’t change the point that it was low risk / high reward to go on those outlets.

Also, the extent of the campaign’s outreach to young men was “vote on behalf of the women you know”.
Maybe pick a better message that doesn’t exclude their entire demographic and you might find better results.
What you’re saying is we should’ve realized how selfish and uncaring they were (speaking as a white male myself). You’re right, but it’s fucking sad.
