How Democrats Can Win Back Men with Mark W. Sutton

About this episode

Mark W. Sutton discusses the disconnect between men and the Democratic party and how to address it.

If the past few US presidential elections have taught us anything, it is that many men do not really see themselves aligned with the values and ideals of the Democratic party. Men are currently dying 5.9 years earlier than women, are only 40% of college students, and represent 75% of the unhoused population. They are struggling on the whole and Democrats rarely decide to dive into that crisis as a talking point. Author and data analyst Mark Sutton talks with Brad about why that is happening, and what can be changed to bring men back into the fold for the Democratic Party.
