Part 5/9:
One highlight of the panel was Travis's inquiry into the state of masculinity within the Democratic Party. He provocatively asked who the most masculine Democrat is today, disparaging figures like Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Senate leaders Chuck Schumer, in a bid to reveal the disconnect many feel between the party’s leadership and male voters. Observing high approval ratings for Donald Trump among men, especially young men, Travis postulated that the left struggles to resonate with a significant demographic due to their perceived prioritization of identity-based politics and the absence of strong, relatable male figures.
