Tim Walz‘s empathetic, understanding version of masculinity is resonating with young men.The Democratic VP nominee recently spoke with a group of frat bros, who said they’re voting for him and Kamala.
One of the kids initiated the convo, telling Walz that a couple of his buddies are now supporting the Democratic ticket after watching the debate.“This guy was undecided, so was this guy, and they’re both coming out for you,” he said.Stay woke with our briefing while staying informed on all things LGBTQ+ entertainment, life, and more!“I think I’m decided now, though!” one of those guys interjected.
Presented with a captive audience, Walz took the opportunity to tell his new supporters they didn’t need to agree on every issue.
Their values are more important. “It’s not about agreeing on every single core issue. It’s about that core belief,” he said. “This whole idea that you can’t agree that the election was fair, this whole idea that people should have personal freedoms, which is kind of like the politics are turning over.”Walz appears to be alluding to Democrats’ more liberal attitudes about social issues, such as reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights.
