Fetterman says Democrats have become 'anti-men,' warns of young male voter exodus

"Well, without a doubt, though you know there's part of the Democratic Party became more and more anti-men or describing that they were part of the problem, or they have toxic traits," Fetterman said during the discussion on "Real Time with Bill Maher."

"And that's why there's been such a big, big migration away from the Democratic Party from young men, and that's that's really why, one of the parts why we lost in 2024."

Fetterman argued Democrats cannot rebuild support among male voters by blaming them for broader societal problems.

Brazile acknowledged concerns about young men struggling socially and economically, but argued women historically faced many of the same barriers.

"I think they don't know their place anymore and that's something that men need to decide and discuss, but as a woman for years, decades, centuries, women had to be overconfident just to appear qualified."

Brazile rejected the idea that women were responsible for young men's frustrations.

Crenshaw argued cultural and parenting differences also contribute to the divide between political groups and attitudes toward masculinity.

"I'm not a fan of gentle parenting," Crenshaw said while discussing discipline and household expectations. "It seems to be more acceptable to say that in the Black community than the White community to be able to say, 'Yes, my parents whooped me.'"

"I've witnessed that migration away from the Democratic Party starting back in 2016," Fetterman said. "We really have to find a way to bring them back and make better arguments without blaming them or describing they are the problem."
