Falanqayn ku saabsan raganimada iyo da'da ayaa ka dambeysa xiisaha weyn ee laga qabo musharraxiinta ragga ah
Ka dib guulaha dooqadda dhexe, muuqaallo iyo qoraallo ku saabsan musharraxiin rag ah oo Dimuqraadiyiin ah ayaa baraha bulshada ku faafay, iyadoo falanqayn ku saabsan raganimada iyo da'da ay ka dambeeyaan xiisahaas.
Xiisaha baraha bulshada iyo hal-abuurka taageerayaasha
Tababare jimicsi Jesse Barton ayaa ka jawaabay natiijooyinka dooqadda dhexe, isagoo sheegay inuu eegayo Rob Sand, Jon Ossoff iyo El-Sayed, uuna ku faraxsan yahay waxa uu arko. Manoushka Guerrier, oo ah cunto-kariye iyo hal-abuure ku sugan Los Angeles, ayaa sameysay imtixaan shakhsiyadeed oo qaab Tiger Beat ah oo ay ku jiraan rag Dimuqraadiyiin ah, sida James Talarico oo loo yaqaan "the Babyface" iyo Manny Rutinel oo loo yaqaan "the Heartthrob".
Raganimada iyo da'da oo la falanqeeyay
Christina Wolbrecht, oo ah borofisar cilmiga siyaasadda ee Jaamacadda Notre Dame, ayaa sheegtay in xiisahaas uu ka mid yahay doodda bulshada oo dhan ee ku saabsan raganimada, isla markaana uu la xiriiro da'da. Waxay sheegtay in muddo 10 sano ka badan Donald Trump uu soo bandhigay hal nooc oo raganimo ah, kaas oo ku saleysan awoodda lagu hayo dadka kale iyo awoodda hantida iyo darajada.
Istiraatijiyad iyo doodda ku saabsan doorashada
Istiraatijiyad Dimuqraadiyiin ah Monica Venske ayaa sheegtay in ragga tooska ah ay dareemeen in aanay qurux badnayn in qofku Dimuqraadiyiin noqdo. Waxay bilowday akoon Instagram oo lagu magacaabo Boyfriends We Deserve, waxayna sheegtay in ay ka taxaddarto sida ay uga hadasho muuqaalka haweenka. Waxay tusaale u soo qaadatay Sam Forstag, oo ahaan jiray qof ka soo booda diyaaradaha si uu dabka u damiyo, isla markaana uu hagaajinayo baabuur.
Supporters and strategists say the attention reflects a debate about masculinity and age, while Democratic women also made historic gains.
After the 2026 midterms, social media users have flooded platforms with videos, quizzes and montages celebrating male Democratic candidates, a trend supporters and analysts link to questions about masculinity and age in politics.
Viral Content Celebrates New Faces
Fitness coach Jesse Barton reacted to the results by naming candidates: "I'm looking at you, Rob Sand. I'm looking at you, Jon Ossoff. I'm looking at you, El-Sayed. I am looking, I am not the only one, and I'm very happy about what I see." Los Angeles chef and content creator Manoushka Guerrier built a Tiger Beat-style personality quiz matching users with figures such as "the Babyface" (Texas Sen.-elect James Talarico) and "the Heartthrob" (Colorado Rep.-elect Manny Rutinel).
Analysts Point to Debates on Masculinity and Age
Christina Wolbrecht, a political science professor at Notre Dame University, said the attention is "a function of our kind of society-wide debate about masculinity" and "about age." She said that "for 10-plus years, Donald Trump has presented one very distinct version of masculinity. It's very much power over [others]. It's very much power through wealth and status." Guerrier said the candidates are "young and they're ballsy and they're smart, and they're not just smart; they're brilliant."
Strategist Sees Shift in Party Image
Democratic strategist Monica Venske, who started the Instagram account Boyfriends We Deserve, said the feeling among straight men had been "that it just wasn't cool to be a Democrat. It wasn't sexy to be a Democrat. It's not manly to be a Democrat. That's a girly thing to be, is a Democrat." She said she is careful when posting about women, noting that calling Sam Forstag hot "will most likely never, ever hurt him," while similar comments about Keisha Lance Bottoms "could hurt her every time."
