Democrats have blown millions of dollars on efforts to appeal to “American Men,” who turned to President Donald Trump in droves on election day, in the hopes of winning back the working class, according to a report.
Democrats have spent $20 million on their efforts, with donors and strategists holing up in luxury hotel rooms brainstorming how to convince working-class men to return to the party, according to a New York Times report.
The plan, code-named SAM, or “Speaking with American Men: A Strategic Plan,” promises to use the funds to “study the syntax, language and content that gains attention and virality in these spaces,” according to the report.
As the Times described it, the reports “can read like anthropological studies of people from faraway places.”
The effort also recommends Democrats buy advertisements in video games, among other things, the Times reported.

“Above all, we must shift from a moralizing tone,” the plan urges.
Democrats have “lost credibility by being seen as alien on cultural issues,” McCrary added.

We need a tea party style hostile takeover.
The tea party was absorbed into the GOP having achieved nothing threatening to capital. All it spawned was a new brand of pandering, i.e. being more crass.
Neither major party is reformable. There is literally no mechanism to make it happen. The people at the top of the parties can change their own rules whenever they want to so even if a group fought a hard-won battle, they would be kneecapped at their moment of "success". For example, DSA libs essentially took over the NV Dems in 2016 and were rewarded for it with complete defunding and were then undermined until out of power.
A party must be internally healthy and driven by an educated and committed membership to be resilient against capital. It must be a fundamentally different beast than Dems or the GOP.
Jesus Christ, yikes, wow. Do you have more reading on the NV DSA thing?
This is one article I had bookmarked from when it started going down. Haven't reread it. Not only did the moderates all mass quit, but they found every legal way to rapidly spend as much funding the state party had and refused to hand over logins for social media accounts.
