So what’s the hold up? Is there something wrong with the messaging?
Most conservative critics would say that yes, there is something very wrong with the messaging. It’s empty, obnoxious, and absolutely cringe-inducing. Like everything else the left does, it’s based on the idea that simply boosting media representation and repeating a few public affirmations for a certain demographic will win a group’s support. Just like seeing a woman swing a lightsaber and kick butt will supposedly win over female audiences, seeing famous men praising Kamala Harris on TV will supposedly win over male voters. It turns out that neither is true.
Of course, rather than learn from this criticism, many of the left already have an explanation for why men are not voting for Harris: sexism and racism. As Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and a host of other leftist voices have declared, American men are too misogynistic and bigoted to vote for a woman of color. In their view, Donald Trump’s dark magic (or “bro whispering”) has turned the great majority of American men into nasty incels who hate women and vote Republican. They are beyond hope and need to be replaced.
