Dear Fellow Bourgeois Pigs, Toxic Males, Breeders and Smelly Walmart Shoppers. The enlighten, evolved and progressive left has libeled us, made fun of us, ridiculed us but now we are good enough to vote for Kamala Harris!

In the eyes of Kamala we have turned from Mr. Hyde back into Dr. Jekyll and now all is forgot, forgiven and lovey-dovey…..not so fast!

Men (aka Males in general) Previously known as members of the Toxic Masculinity Tribe mostly made up of white males have been lower than the bubble gum on the bottom of your shoe but all of a sudden we have become important because low and behold Kamala now needs us! (and not for a weekend marriage)

Get this! Men are front and center in a recent ad meant to get more men to back Vice President Kamala Harris. Many people have found this to be awkwardly obvious. A lot of people don't like her ads, which shows male actors doing stereotypically "manly" things while supporting a woman president. Some people say it shows Democrats are suddenly trying to connect with men after years of ridicule and hatred.

What is the message? They seem very eager to tell you that these guys aren't afraid to vote for a woman.

At the beginning of the ad, men say they are proud to be men and offer their support for Harris. They support women's right to choose and IVF as a way to plan a family. They even joke that they back women who want "to be childless cat ladies." It seems like the main point is that real men don't just put up with women in power; they fully back them.

Several guys in the ad say, "I'm not afraid of women," and then they say they support Harris, who took over for President Joe Biden after he was suddenly taken off the ticket. With lines like "Women want to be president? ", the ad makes these feelings even stronger. If she wants my backing, she should be brave enough to look me in the eye and say yes. I'm a man, after all.

"Kamala's 'men' aren't real men," said Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. Most of them are too weak to work, build, or carry groceries for women around the house. Greene also said that real men don't just say nice things about women and kids in politically correct ads; they actually protect and care for them.
 
Many times in the past few years, Democrats have blamed men, especially traditional or conservative men, for something going wrong. People have used words like "toxic masculinity" to criticize actions they think are bad for society and women, especially aggressive and dominant behavior in men. It's possible these portrayals have turned off some male voters, especially those who feel like they are being unfairly targeted by these broad stereotypes. Yes, they have insulted most men on both sides of the aisle.

But studies show men's support for Democrats, especially for Harris, is at best weak and her men are wussys.  

Public radio hosts The Hodge Twins called it "the gayest political ad of all time," and journalist Tim Pool said, "It's like Kamala has never met a man before." But the truth be told Kamala has ‘Known’ many men!

The ad came out at a time when Democrats are having a hard time connecting with male voters. It raises an important question: How successful can a political party be when it spends years calling a big part of the electorate toxic and then changes its mind and asks for their support and their vote?

The Democrats might not be able to close the gap between what they say and what many men actually have to deal with today if they keep focusing on identity politics instead of real policy problems that affect men. "Man enough to vote for a woman" as a new definition of manhood seems like too simple a way to look at a much more complicated political situation.

Final Word: Of all the gall for the Democrats to beg for votes from none other than the very group they have been trying to extinguish? Isn’t the real question: Are the ‘Kamala Men’ coming up a little short?
