Mark Cuban has emerged as a surprising political ally for Kamala Harris in this election.
The entrepreneur has a deep-seated grudge against Donald Trump.
And Mark Cuban demanded Kamala Harris make one sick move that she never expected.
Mark Cuban helps Kamala Harris to do outreach to male voters
Shark Tank star Mark Cuban has become a top surrogate for Vice President Kamala Harris.
He’s laughably defended her as a “pro-business moderate” to try to sell skeptical swing voters on her.
One of Kamala’s biggest problems in this election has been plummeting support with male voters.
Cuban has been trying to help her reach out to men by appearing on podcasts supporting her campaign.
Former President Donald Trump has aggressively courted young men in Generation Z by appearing on new media favored by them like podcasts and livestreams.
Trump’s mastery of Twitter helped him win the 2016 Election by speaking directly to voters without the filter of the media.
His aggressive schedule of appearing on podcasts could end up being the masterstroke of this campaign.
A New York Times/Siena poll from September found that men 18-29 backed Trump by 13 points in six swing states.
Typically, Democrats have won this cohort by a large margin, but Trump’s message appears to have broken through with this group.
Mark Cuban comes up with bizarre explanation for Trump’s appeal to young men
Cuban spoke with MSNBC after a campaign rally in Wisconsin for Kamala where he claimed that social media algorithms were behind Trump’s appeal to young men.
He told MSNBC host Nicole Wallace that Trump has a “gangsta” appeal that was drawing young male voters toward him.
“I have talked to people who said they like Trump because he’s a ‘gangsta.’ Not a gangster, a ‘gangsta,’” Cuban claimed. “I’m like, that’s why you’re going to vote for him?”
Cuban claimed that the social media-obsessed younger generations are being fed pro-Trump content online.
“For guys, in particular, you start with football, you go to another sport, you see women, and then all of a sudden you’re seeing something that is aggressive,” Cuban claimed. “It could be an Andrew Tate, it could be whoever, and that leads you to getting content, memes in particular, for Donald Trump.”
This was brainwashing young people into supporting Trump according to Cuban.
“When you see those memes repeated hundreds and hundreds of times a day, you can’t expect them to all of a sudden start reading to find out if it’s true, to find out if the information is accurate,” Cuban stated.
Cuban claimed that he was in talks with Kamala’s campaign to “reverse-engineer” the social media algorithms.
“It’s just nonstop repetition and that influences their decision-making, and so the campaign, and we have talked about it, has got to come up and reverse-engineer these algorithms and come up with a response,” Cuban said.
Trump was banned from every major social media platform after January 6.
Big Tech, other than X under its new owner Elon Musk, has been hostile to him.
The real reason that young men have moved to Trump is that the Democrat Party’s messaging is aggressively anti-male.
Men are blamed for all of society’s ill and the Democrat message offers them nothing.
Cuban can’t admit this so he comes up with fanciful stories about social media algorithms tricking young men into supporting Trump.
