Democratic strategist James Carville bluntly explained why men loathe the Democratic Party during a Wednesday podcast appearance.
President Donald Trump won the male vote in all three of his election campaigns by 8% or more each time, and had his biggest margin with the demographic — 12% — in 2024 against former Vice President Kamala Harris, according to the Center for American Women and Politics. Carville, on “The Tara Palmeri Show,” argued Democrats appear condescending toward men.

“I think the Democratic Party has what I would call an NPR problem. You know, don’t eat hamburgers, don’t watch football, don’t drink beer,” Carville said. “It’s all bad for you. Like god damn, man, you know, get off my ass for a minute! And I think it’s something like that. I think Democrats come across as like culturally superior, ‘we know what’s good for you.’”
The Democratic strategist also suggested men would support Democrats more if they campaigned on raising the minimum wage.
“My critique of the Harris campaign: why wouldn’t we be for accent, raising the minimum wage? Give America a raise,” he said. “Let’s tax rich people and give this money to young, young people.”
Moreover, Carville said that his experience teaching at colleges was that female students perform significantly better than males.
“I taught three years at community college, nine years at Tulane, I think four at LSU [Louisiana State University], and I had this phenomena — and other people that have taught told me the same thing — the girls just kicked the shit out of these boys,” he said.
Carville also warned on “On Brand with Donny Deutsch” in June that male minorities were fleeing the Democratic Party due to its patronizing attitude, accurately predicting that Democrats would “lose Hispanic males.” President Donald Trump ultimately won a majority of the Hispanic male vote in November 2024.
Furthermore, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith told Democratic Rep. Jake Auchincloss of Massachusetts during a Wednesday NewsNation town hall that his condescending “attitude” was why his party lost the November election. During the discussion, which included a panel of mostly non-politicians, the congressman suggested that only politicians are qualified to speak authoritatively on voter concerns.
“That kind of attitude where you just said only one person on this stage has talked to constituencies other than you — that’s why y’all lost,” Smith said.
