"THE RETURN OF THE DEMOCRATIC MANLY MAN"

[Callie1979]

I've been preaching this for some time. I actually wish we could have a '28 candidate who looked like Jason Statham. Yes, I think its absolutely ridiculous that I feel that way, but WINNING is all that matters at this point. We simply MUST get more men back to the Party. And candidates like these are a move in that direction.

"Brian poindexter had just finished wolfing down a Reuben sandwich in a deli outside Cleveland when he delivered a message that, coming from a Democratic House candidate in the year 2026, sounded almost provocative. “There’s nothing wrong with being masculine,” Poindexter told me. It’s okay, he said, to be “a manly man.”

1. I think I know the guy we need.

3. Warning!

Those cancer sticks will take your (Xavier) Breath away!

6. True story: I've never smoked a single cigarette in my life.

Not even as a 10-year-old sneaking one behind Grandad's shed. Never appealed to me. I had so many relatives that smoked that I'm guessing that's what turned me off of it.

[True Dough]

8. Same is true of me!

Not once. Never appealed to me in any way. I'm grateful that I was able to avoid it.

[Callie1979]

11. My dad smoked & thats all it took to keep me away. He quit when I was 12

After that, you did NOT want to light up around him

[Bettie]

15. Same here

the smell of cigarette smoke is nauseating to me.

2. Best of both worlds right here:

4. So women need not apply

Come on, this is offensive in so many ways. This is not Democratic Party I want to be a part of. It is about qualifications. FDR was in a wheelchair so I am guessing not very manly man.

[Callie1979]

7. And that was hidden for quite some time. Read the article; they mention women too

Women who fit the equal mold as the men.

18. Do you think it's the party that doesn't want to elect a woman or the country as a whole?

Because it kinda seems like the country as a whole to me, and not the party given that 2 of the last 3 nominees have been women.

5. I'm not concerned about testosterone levels, as a voter, I'm looking for integrity.

I know, fairy tale thinking! I'm an optimist!

[LeftInTX]

9. Throw in hot men for good measure

[Callie1979]

10. Again, shouldn't matter but it does. Thats where we are.

And to me, defeating the MAGA is ALL that matters. However we can do it & whoever needs to temporarily take a seat Take the "tough guy/gal" image away from them.

20. Greg Brady

“Adios Johnny Bravo” When a talent agent signs Greg to become a rock star named "Johnny Bravo," he lets his new fame get to his head, until he discovers that he was only signed because he "fit the suit."

12. what about lumberjacks?

[pcdb]

13. That was Graham Platner and look how that worked out.

[Callie1979]

14. Thats an example of shitty background checks. Plus, much WAS known

People here posted about it & got hammered for being negative.

[Ponietz]

17. It started with swooning and ended in a scorned fury

It is always about sex. We’ve seen ads our entire lives manipulating that primal human need. Like it or not.
It’s what Clinton and Obama had/have.

16. "So women need not apply. Come on, this is offensive in so many ways."

The problem is far too many voters don’t find it offensive – it’s how women lost the right to reproductive autonomy, which is even more offensive.

19. Like you, I'm of the Al Davis school when it comes to elections.

“Just win, baby.”
