May 2012

Some white men vote for Democrats some vote for Republicans. Some are racists and some are not. Some treat women badly some don't.

But as a group, white men are to most picked on group of voters by this board. I never saw such blatant racism as there is here at DU against white men.

Hey Democrats and Progressives, why not WHITE MEN? [View all] Dawgs May 2012 OP

This looks interesting. Jamastiene May 2012 #1

Really? Does it sound bad? n/t Dawgs May 2012 #2

ok, and how exactly should we appeal to white men over 40 other than doing what we're doing? unblock May 2012 #3

Wow! Amazing how so many of you miss my point. Dawgs May 2012 #9

I have no desire to appeal to the current "white men" who comprise the Republican base. toddwv May 2012 #22

the only thing amazing is that you're ignoring a simple request to propose some solutions. unblock May 2012 #23

Why Not White Men Too? mazzarro May 2012 #4

The Problem, Sir, Is Older White Males, Particularly In Rural And Southern Locales The Magistrate May 2012 #5

Great idea. Let's give up without trying. n/t Dawgs May 2012 #12

Not Every Problem Has A Solution, Sir The Magistrate May 2012 #18

Thank you, Magistrate Empowerer May 2012 #26

Huh, I'm asking Democrats to inform those that continue to vote against themselves. Dawgs May 2012 #16

It's your question, you answer it. I'm done. bemildred May 2012 #21

Are those people republicans? Dawgs May 2012 #14

As an old, straight, white guy, I'm not really sure how to put this. OffWithTheirHeads May 2012 #8

Not talking about you... geez! n/t Dawgs May 2012 #10

I'm sure the way to get their vote is to insult a large group of people FSogol May 2012 #11

"I sure the way"??? Dawgs May 2012 #13

You added the term "Republican" to the group you are hating on. It didn't appear FSogol May 2012 #15

I hope you're joking. My whole OP was about getting white men to vote Democratic. Dawgs May 2012 #17

Like this OP, much of the Dem message seems to be tuned intentionally to denigrate them dmallind May 2012 #19

Very well said. OffWithTheirHeads May 2012 #20

Thanks for the reasoned and thoughtful response. Dawgs May 2012 #30

A Thorough Conventional Analysis, Sir, Which Does Point Up the Real Problem The Magistrate May 2012 #45

As a member of the hetero-white-guy-over-40 demographic ... I remind the members of my cohort ... JoePhilly May 2012 #24

And this... Wait Wut May 2012 #39

YUP ... I also find that their wives lean democratic, if not actually being dems. JoePhilly May 2012 #43

No voter group is homogeneous. upaloopa May 2012 #25

Are you saying I'm racist against white men? n/t Dawgs May 2012 #32

Could you link an example? I'd be interested to know why you feel white men are treated..... Tarheel_Dem May 2012 #46

I wish you all the best. qwlauren35 May 2012 #27

I agree with most of you are saying, but my post has nothing to do with Obama. Dawgs May 2012 #37

Cause we're already pandered to enough Arkana May 2012 #28

"Pandered to"? Not sure that was what I was suggesting. n/t Dawgs May 2012 #33

What do you think the "we got bin Laden, Romney wouldn't have" adverts are for? muriel_volestrangler May 2012 #29

It's a start. n/t Dawgs May 2012 #36

You want to win over men? mathematic May 2012 #31

WTF! I think my definition of 'jock' (in this context) is quite a bit different than yours. Dawgs May 2012 #35

That's good. I think you should be able to appreciate this point. mathematic May 2012 #38

Your point is fine if I was suggesting we use the jock stereotype for any purpose. Dawgs May 2012 #41

We have a jock president and he's still pretty much trashed by white men. Drunken Irishman May 2012 #47

Jock Presidents, Senators, etc are pretty common mathematic May 2012 #48

Tagline for the ad: "WELCOME, SMART WHITE MEN"... polichick May 2012 #34

Why would you want to appeal to ignorant bigoted war-loving ex-jocks? independentpiney May 2012 #40

Are you a Republican? Dawgs May 2012 #42

This white man over 40 (ahem) proudly supports President Obama! Bake May 2012 #44
