Granted, this is some ugly coverage on the part of the NYT, but it's images like this driving young people away.
This and "strongly worded letters" from Sen. Schumer are at the core of why Democratic outreach to young men fails. AOC and Gov. Walz were going in the right direction when they streamed together on Twitch, but they needed to do it often and regularly to build the audience and have a stronger impact.

The appearance of aloof disconnected academics and aristocrats holding secret meetings in luxurious settings makes young men want to kick our asses, not join our party. F47's outreach to young men succeeded through a deceptive appearance of open comprehensibility, similar to the experience of watching professional sports. You don't need to gather in a luxury hotel to figure this much out, a zoom call would work.

The best thing about this article is the vast majority of young men will never see it.
