When you’re losing ground with male voters, what do you do? If you’re Tim Walz, you team up with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and play Madden NFL on Twitch. Yes, you read that right. This was the latest stunt from the Harris-Walz campaign to pander to young male voters. It’s the kind of move that screams desperation while also highlighting just how tone-deaf the campaign really is.
Trying to Be 'Relatable' with Madden?
You have to wonder who thought this was a good idea. Tim Walz, the vice-presidential candidate who’s supposed to represent Kamala Harris’s “seriousness,” logs onto Twitch to play Madden with AOC. Walz’s attempt to look “manly” by playing football on a video game might have been cute—if it weren’t so cringeworthy.
While the Democrats have been struggling to win over male voters, this attempt to connect with them by playing a video game feels like the equivalent of Hillary Clinton’s infamous “hot sauce in the purse” moment. It’s a desperate gimmick that’s both awkward and unconvincing. It’s as if the campaign thinks that playing Madden is all it takes to understand and relate to men.
Hinting at AOC as Speaker? Seriously?
The real kicker, though, came when Walz suggested making AOC the Speaker of the House if the Harris-Walz ticket wins the election. While everyone knows that the vice president doesn’t have the power to appoint the Speaker, the mere suggestion is enough to show how far left this ticket wants to go. Joking or not, it’s a firm commentary on the kind of “woke” policies and extreme agendas we could expect under a Harris presidency.
For a campaign that claims to be focused on “unity,” aligning with AOC’s brand of progressive politics isn’t exactly reassuring to moderate voters. It’s like they’re doubling down on the far-left agenda and not even trying to hide it anymore.
The Filibuster Fantasy
It didn’t stop at AOC’s potential promotion. During the stream, Walz and AOC discussed the idea of eliminating the Senate filibuster—a dream for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. AOC didn’t hesitate to agree, saying, “Oh yeah, we gotta get rid of that thing.” If that’s not a clear indicator of where this administration plans to go, what is?
The filibuster, designed to protect minority opinions in the Senate, has become a favorite target of the far left. Harris herself has expressed support for ending the filibuster, first to reinstate Roe v. Wade protections, then to pass the Green New Deal. Walz jumping on this bandwagon only proves how the Harris-Walz campaign is willing to ditch long-standing Senate rules for their radical agenda.
Democrats Are Out of Touch with Men—and It Shows
This entire episode underscores a larger issue for Democrats: they are out of touch with male voters. Recent polls have shown that Trump leads Harris among male voters by a wide margin, 56% to 40%. Meanwhile, Harris has a 55% to 41% lead among women. The gap is significant, and the Harris-Walz campaign knows it.
But let’s be clear—pandering isn’t the solution. Playing Madden and making bizarre promises about AOC’s political future are not going to convince men that this ticket represents their interests. If anything, it makes them look even more clueless. Male voters care about real issues—like economic stability, national security, and personal freedom. Madden NFL on Twitch? Not so much.
Harris’s Problems with Men Go Beyond Football
Harris has been repeatedly called out for her disconnect with male voters. In a recent interview with NBC, she tried to brush off the issue by claiming that it’s “not the experience I’m having.” Well, maybe it’s time for Harris and her campaign to look beyond their echo chamber.
Even MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell acknowledged the issue, pointing out that Harris has had trouble resonating with male voters since her time as California’s attorney general. No amount of football gaming or “Athletes for Harris” campaigns—co-chaired by NBA stars like Stephen Curry and Magic Johnson—are likely to close the gap.
Final Thoughts
This latest stunt from the Harris-Walz campaign isn’t just a pathetic attempt to win over men—it’s a reminder of how far the Democrats are willing to go to pander. By suggesting AOC for Speaker and plotting to kill the filibuster, they’ve shown their cards: a radical agenda disguised as a relatable campaign. But here’s the reality: the American people, especially men, aren’t looking for a gaming buddy in the White House. They want a leader who understands real issues and offers real solutions.
