I’ve written a good bit recently about the flailing Harris/Walz campaign’s desperate attempts to shore up its cratering support among male voters, but its advisers apparently don’t read FrontPage Mag (their loss), so they just keep digging themselves into a deeper hole with this strategy and handing me more material to work with.
You may recall that the Democrats began this strategy with a full-court press during their party’s convention back in August, when the Left-wing state media launched a coordinated talking point about how Tim “Somebody Help Me Load This Shotgun” Walz and Doug “Second Gentleman” Emhoff are icons of a new “21st century masculinity. Talking heads swooned over the manliness of two Democrats who have all the masculine presence and gravitas of Robin Williams’ and Nathan Lane’s characters in The Birdcage.
The Democrats followed this up with a video ad campaign aimed at men that was indistinguishable from a Babylon Bee parody. The message this video unintentionally conveyed was that Democrats are as clueless about straight men as they are about the economy. They clearly don’t know what regular guys want or even look and act like.
In their latest humiliating attempt to convince men that voting for Harris and Walz is the manly thing to do, the campaign has enlisted actor Ben Stiller and Bravo talk show host Andy Cohen to appear alongside Mr. Kamala, Doug Emhoff, in a new social media video aimed specifically at fathers of daughters.
Andy Cohen claimed the two-and-a-half-yr-old daughter he purchased for himself through a surrogate (he’s a gay single dad) “is smarter than all the guys in the room already.” In his defense, she might be smarter than all the guys Cohen knows. He adds, “My vote for Kamala is an investment in my daughter’s future.”
Ben Stiller, who can’t even bring himself to look steadily into the camera, chimes in with, “I’m right there with you.” He notes that his 22-yr-old daughter is a “feminist” who “has inspired me in so many ways.”
Needless to say, if professional gossip Andy Cohen and the twitchy, unimposing comedian Ben Stiller are the most masculine fathers the Harris/Walz campaign could dredge up for this ad, then the campaign is in deep trouble – which it is.
“When the Dobbs decision came out two-plus years ago, I heard from Kamala right away,” Emhoff says to the camera in his turn, “and then the next person was [his daughter] Ella. She texted me right away, essentially saying: ‘We need to fight.’ This is not just an issue for women. This is an issue for men and families.” Well, to be more precise, it’s an anti-family issue for men who want to continue enjoying consequence-free sex.
The short, stiffly staged video also features Emhoff’s daughter, fashion model Ella, who addresses “all the dads out there” and says “this is the time to really show support for your daughters.” In a voice that is literally deeper than those of the men in the video, Ella adds,
Never in my lifetime did I think we would be having to fight for this, and the fight for our own bodies. And I think it’s really important for men to step up and show that they actually support us and that they’re willing to put things on the line to help us.
This is strange messaging: men who are proud of their unaborted daughters, urging other men to vote for the most avid abortion enthusiast of all this election season’s presidential candidates, in support of the right of women to casually murder their own unborn when having a child is perceived to be inconvenient in some way. This is what Democrats consider to be “an investment in women’s future” and the apex of men’s support for women.
Speaking of inconvenient pregnancies: you may recall that Doug Emhoff has publicly admitted to having an extramarital affair during his first marriage, getting his nanny pregnant (she later accused him of causing her to have a miscarriage). Social media users certainly didn’t forget this, or other instances in which Emhoff acted as less than the ideal male role model, and they blasted him online after the video was released.
The Washington Examiner reports that one user asked, “What happened to the nanny?” Another remarked, “So what you’re saying is you guys are glad your daughters weren’t aborted.” Yet a third pointedly asked, “When did you stop slapping women?” referring to allegations that Emhoff assaulted his ex-girlfriend 12 years ago outside a red carpet gala in France. Ouch.
Democrats can’t comprehend why Kamala can’t attract male voters, even black males whom they consider their property. They can’t grasp that it’s because they not only don’t understand real men, but that they don’t understand that they have alienated generations of men through decades of open feminist contempt and hatred for men. Now they’re facing a backlash that is only just beginning to gather steam.
Central to this problem is that the Democrats want men to accept and conform to their ideal of manliness, which consists of men deferring to female ambition (conversely, the Democrats have worked for decades to convince women that they are most fulfilled when they act like the ruthlessly ambitious male stereotypes they despise). The Left is out of touch with what men want, which is to define themselves on their own terms and not through the misandrist lens of a feminist framework. Telling men that the manliest thing they can do is get out of women’s way is a guaranteed failure of a message, especially with younger men who are finding a whole new inspiration about masculinity in online influencers ranging from Jordan Peterson to Andrew Tate.
The Harris/Walz campaign is collapsing for various reasons, but a significant one is this Democrat inability to connect with American men – not because Kamala is a woman and men are sexist, as they claim, but because she and her party seem to expect men to be supportive of a half-century-long progressive movement that has wreaked catastrophic damage to men, women, and the family unit. Good luck with that.
Being a girl dad is a gift. It’s also one of the reasons @BenStiller and @Andy are voting for @KamalaHarris. pic.twitter.com/2CIL7ZTYZ2

Useful Idiots for Socialism and Big Brother
A woman wants everything but responsibility.
I am starting to think that all of these people in Kamala campaign ads really, really despise her and are doing everything they can to make her lose. Or this is just another manifestation of clown world.
Girly boyz, prancing antelopes ,raised by bossy women and frightened of them men the Harris man is an embarrassment to manhood. These woke sissy men are the reason women have so few good men to pick from.
I visited a college auditorium and felt sorry for the girls in the room. The ‘guys’ were glued to a phone and acted like delicate flowers (how ever they act?)….sad
They tout the virtue of being a parent while telling you to vote for a person who wants to kill babies for any reason. Only a leftist can understand this “logic.”
Beta Males for Kamala come with their own tweezers and magnifying glass.
And they’re also envious of squirrels (as in more endowed) if you know what I mean!! Ak beta males who support Kamala do need tampons. They get their asses kick so much that they’re always bleeding! Bunch of limp wrist sissies….
There’s a famous loaded question posited to demonstrate the difficulty in “proving a negative”
“When did you quit beating your wife?”
With that lecher, Doug Emhoff, it’s one time that question can sincerely be asked.
The press won’t go there because ¹their job isn’t to find truth; ²it’s to run cover & clean up after democrats, and ³slander conservatives for sport.
When Trump wins his 3rd election, my advice to Kamala’s staff is to call in sick the following day. (Same advice holds for Hillary’s courtiers employed at the Clinton Holyland Foundation.)
The press has been that way for most of my adult life. They dispensed with any semblance of objectivity starting with Bill Clinton. From there on, that less than objective mindset began to seep in all aspects of the news and news reporting. Even sports and weather!!
With the advent of Obama, the MSM (what the press is now called) became the official purveyors and pushers (i.e., mouth piece) of democrat party propaganda and began inculcating the American public with Marxist ideology in earnest. FYI: I use the term “official” because they do it without any perceptible since of shame or embarrassment (e.g., NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, et al.). The only thing they don’t do, and wisely so, is call it what it is: Marxism on the down low.
Not all Americans are sheeple and are informed (i.e., literate) enough to see through the ruse. By the way: one has to question what’s being labeled as “news” in today’s America. Moreover, by any rational objective measure, news is not propaganda and propaganda is not news. Just saying…!!
Ronald Reagan once said that the difference between a communist and an anti-communist is that a communist reads Karl Marx whereas an anti-communist understands Karl Marx. That’s an apropos lessen that all Americans should understand and appreciate. Especially the MSM.
If DNC mega-doner Jeff Epstein hadn’t been put down, the desperate idiots in the Kamala campaign might have put him in the TV ad.
If three effeminate fools are seen as masculine, then Epstein might have actually lent some. Afterall, the DNC is happy to use Epstein’s biggest client – Bill Clinton.
Have you noticed that, in the beta boy pics, the Soy Boys For Kammy always seem to have their hands over their willies or near them.
What a coincidence that you would notice that!!! But, you’re not gay, right? Really a stupid comment from a not so bright guy.
Oh you again. I’d forgotten all about you.
Hmmm, 14 down votes, not single up vote. Speaks volumes about you tough guy.
Hmmm, 17 down votes now.
19 down votes now.
25 downvotes now. Sucks to be you SebbyWebby.
Sebastian:
The fact that you said what you said about the gentleman’s comment says more about you than it does about him.
Turn off your “gay-dar” or go troll some other forum.
A gay man, a self hating Jew and a guy whose parents were funnier than him and didn’t murder him in the womb are supposed to inspire my maleness to vote for a Marxist moron? “You’re at the wrong rally.”.
EXCELLENT. EXCELLENT.
aren’t DEMS a somewhat alarmed as to how MASCUILNE hillary clinton is? Isn’t that enough of a warning about putting female testosterone in the white house????
as sec of state, when hillary wasn’t sucking bribes she was trying to prove what ‘low hangers’ she had what with all that militaristic posturing going on!
Israel thousands of years ago was rebuked for the same things going on today in this country:
Isaiah 3:12 “As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.”
Ben “all Jews wish they were black” Stiller? Probably the biggest clown of them all. Pathetic excuse for a man
Real men don’t have to tell you that they’re real men.
I agree with everything in the column except the mention of Andrew Tate who is scum and no role model.
What a disappointing and truly false representation of manhood.
Males they are but they are not men. There’s a difference between a man and a male. For example: Don Lemon of CNN is a male but is certainly no man by any stretch of the imagination..
That degenerate pompous ass in particular is more of an evil b*tch than anything else. Yeah, I went there and said it! So what? It’s true.
I actually feel badly for the real woman that are ‘available’. Half of the men are afraid of their own shadow for offending the WOKE DEI fools that are temporarily the loud mouths of the day.
This is why so many of them, including myself, are choosing to stay single.
A real man is hard to find!
Ella is the farthest thing from feminine other than a dude that wants to be a chick! Just oooooh
It never occurs to leftist women how self-serving pro-abortion men like Clinton and Emhof are. Of course they prefer to continue their sexual predations uninterrupted by financial or other repercussions and keep favored concubines constantly available for sex through abortion. It has nothing to do with care for the woman!
While I’m not criticizing him because of his small stature, I remember during the Clinton years media women deemed George Stephanopoulos as the new symbol of masculinity. Everybody knows it was Janet Reno.
I’ll be the first to admit that liberals often seem to lack shoulder strength where they already lack a backbone. But since we’re already making fun of Doug Emhoff’s voice pitch and Ben Stiller’s “unimposing” stature, I have to wonder: who died and made pencil-necked geek and disgruntled Hollywood wannabe Mark Tapson the voice of American manhood? I usually have a pretty good gauge on when a dork is trying to affect the mannerisms of a tough guy, and nothing about Tapson’s emotional “angry voice” in his videos exactly communicates virility, vigor or masculinity on my end. Vote for whoever you want to win, but be warned that there’s a bit more to being a “real man”–as Mark has appointed himself– than who you pick at the ballot box.
Beta men will not speak up about the Democrats’ war on men:: far less funding for prostate cancer than breast cancer, female-only reproductive rights, male-only military draft registration, funding for women’s health while ignoring men’s health, etc,
So when those Of The Left use the word… fight… so often in their speech then that’s just not the same word as when Trump uses the word ..fight… Right ????.
Tell me again… What is that ”young person” standing with these fools?.
I’d rather stick with rosy palm and her five sisters then to ever touch a feminist in any way shape or form..
