Revealing, yes; embarrassing? That would require self-awareness. Donor class holds canape summit to address its lack of appeal to working men

”More ads on video games — yes, that’s exactly the ticket!”

Top Democratic operatives and donors have been hobnobbing in “luxury hotels” while trying to figure out why the party is shedding men and the working class — moves that have liberals have slammed as out of touch. 

In one instance, liberal super PAC Future Forward hosted a gathering in the Ritz-Carlton resort in wealthy Half Moon Bay, California, to apprise donors on what went wrong in 2024. Prominent figures such as California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) were reported in attendance.

Some of the elite gatherings featured appetizers like short-rib tostones, mini lobster rolls, beef tenderloin and other expensive hors d’oeuvres, according to reporting from the New York Times. 

Among the strategy discussions was a $20 million effort codenamed SAM, “Speaking with American Men: A Strategic Plan,” which is working toward stemming Democrats’ hemorrhaging of young men.

Some of its recommendations include purchasing more ads on video games and changing the party’s language towards men. SAM really underscored the need for Democrats to stop having such a “moralizing tone” toward men, according to the report.
