What does Daniel Cox say about the Democratic Party and young men?

Daniel Cox says that around 2023 the Democratic Party's website listed about 17 groups it represents, and men were conspicuously absent. He notes self-identified Democrats are roughly 60% women and 40% men, and that college-educated women have swollen the party's ranks and its campaign staff. Meanwhile something like one in three, or close to four in ten, young men say they trust neither party.

Cox says working-class Americans see Republicans as serving financial elites and Democrats as serving cultural elites.
Cox says working-class men have suffered more than working-class women as job growth moved into service and healthcare roles.
