Joy Behar suggests Democrats teach men to not be sexists instead of studying them
Joy Behar just delivered a scathing response to Democrats’ $20 million plan to win back male voters.
The View co-host didn’t hold back when she called the entire effort a complete “waste of money.”
The Democratic Party’s Expensive New Strategy
Following their decisive defeat in November, Democrats are scrambling to figure out what went wrong with male voters.
The New York Times recently revealed that the party is investing heavily in a study called “Speaking with American Men: A Strategic Plan.”
This $20 million research project aims to analyze the “syntax, language and content that gains attention and virality” among male demographics.
The goal? Learning how to communicate more effectively with men who have increasingly turned away from Democratic candidates.
A Heated Exchange on The View
Friday’s episode of The View turned into a battleground over Democratic strategy.
Co-hosts found themselves divided on whether the party’s approach to winning back men was the right move.
The discussion grew particularly intense when different perspectives on male voters emerged.
Some argued that Democrats had genuinely alienated this demographic through their messaging and policies.
The Authenticity Problem
Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin pointed to a deeper issue within Democratic outreach efforts.
She highlighted how figures like Joe Rogan had once supported Bernie Sanders before being alienated by the party.
“Joe Rogan was a Bernie Bro. Democrats lost him. They had their own Joe Rogan and then alienated him with policies.”
Griffin argued that hiring analysts and strategists to study how men communicate misses the point entirely.
She suggested that authentic voices like Joe Rogan and Theo Von succeeded because of their genuine approach, not manufactured messaging.
The Manosphere Factor
The conversation took an interesting turn when discussing the appeal of the so-called “manosphere.”
Co-host Sara Haines brought up how Trump and similar figures gained traction by telling men “It’s okay to be a man, you have value.”
She suggested that language around “toxic masculinity” may have been misunderstood, making men feel like they were inherently the problem.
This observation highlighted a potential messaging crisis within Democratic communications.
Behar’s Controversial Solution
When pressed about the $20 million study, Behar dismissed it entirely with a provocative alternative.
“You know what I think? I think it’s a waste of money. Maybe these guys should spend their money on teaching men to not be such sexists.”
The audience erupted in applause at her suggestion.
Behar doubled down on her position, referring to the entire effort as “20 million bucks just to talk to boys.”
When challenged about whether sexism was really the driving factor behind male voters switching to Trump, Behar remained suspicious of their motivations.
The exchange revealed deep divisions within Democratic circles about how to address their struggles with male voters, with some advocating for better communication strategies while others suggest the problem lies with the voters themselves.
