What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hello, it's Miranda. I'm back with a new mini episode of Podforce One. This feature is a little more topical and relevant to my job as a columnist for the New York Post. Today, the topic is the Democrats' desperate search for a manly man to run against AOC for president in 2028. Apparently, their radical left DSA faction doesn't believe a woman can win. So much for the future is female. It's hilarious that snot-nosed socialist Svengali Morris Katz, the Mamdani whisperer, is reportedly trash-talking Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's chances as the Democrat presidential candidate for 2028. Reportedly, because he says a woman can't win. The left always eats its own in the end. We knew Democrats were trying to rebrand as the party of manly men, but they've really taken this new masculinity jag off a cliff.
Katz, who plucked accused rapist Graham Plattner out of obscurity only to have him flame out in the main Senate race, reportedly wanted his bearded protege to be the Dems' 2028 nominee, mainly because he is a man. The rationale of the 26-year-old Mamdani advisor was explained by a source quoted in the Post this week. "'You make this guy, Plattner, senator, and then you make this guy president because in large part Morris Katz and, like this whole sector of the left, do not believe that AOC can win because she's a woman.'" Hope the pussy hats are paying attention. Democrats doubled down on their the future is female mission after Hillary Clinton lost in 2016. In the process of demonizing masculinity, they evolved into an unattractive party of suburban scolds and trumped deranged crazies with a smattering of henpecked beta males and men in dresses for gender balance.
What is Miranda’s thesis about Democrats chasing a ‘manly man’ for 2028?
By the time of the disastrous Kamala Brat Summer campaign of 2024, men had deserted the Democrats in droves. Suddenly, Dems realized that alienating 48% of voters was not such a smart move, so they executed a drastic U-turn and tried to become the party of manly men, as the Atlantic calls them. Who could forget White Dudes for Harris, which rolled out in mid-2024 campaign? They tried tampon Tim Walls as up-talking Kamala Harris's running mate, thinking he was just goofy and woke enough to reassure their base of man-haters that they weren't dealing with a threatening alpha like Donald Trump. Waltz was a mincing, calculating phony, from his folksy Midwestern dad schtick to his photo-op hunting trip in Minnesota in which he fumbled awkwardly with the shotgun.
Needless to say, he flopped. Then the party turned to alleged vegan Texan Senate hopeful James Tallarico, whose nickname is Low Tee. Say no more. The final evolution of the search for the ideal male avatar resulted in Plattner, the ersatz, gravelly-voiced Maine oyster man with the Nazi tattoo who put the toxic back in masculinity. The fact that either Plattner or AOC could even be considered a serious presidential candidate shows how broken the Democratic Party is. Riven by a simmering civil war with its insurgent communist faction, the DSA, which is now apparently engaged in its own infighting. It's a war within a war. Last weekend's meeting of the National Political Committee of the Democratic Socialists of America reportedly fractured over whether or not to immediately endorse AOC as their 2028 presidential candidate.
In a narrow 14-13 vote, the committee decided to put off the decision until its convention next August. With Plattner gone, the DSA clearly needs time to recruit another manly man, alternative to the lowly female. He wasn't born in this country, but you know they'd just love to enlist Hasan Piker, the dog-torturing Turkish-American Twitch streamer who is the DSA's poster boy of masculinity. He tells his 2.7 million followers, America deserved 9-11, and it doesn't matter if effing rapes happened on October 7th. He has joked about men date-raping women on campus and told his followers to kill people he doesn't like and, quote, let the streets soak in their red capitalist blood. Perfect. You could not get a more loathsome example of toxic so-called masculinity this side of Plattner, yet Piker is sought after by Democrats from Zoran Mamdani and Abdul El-Sayed to LA billionaire Tom Steyer to sprinkle his radical misogyny and Jew hatred onto their campaigns.
