Summary

There is an obvious reason men have drifted to the right, says Justin Cohen: Nobody on the left wants to hear from them. The co-founder of Dads for All joins Bradley to discuss how social isolation, economic anxiety, and political polarization have created both a crisis and an opportunity. Justin's group works through local chapters to bring dads together around areas of shared interest, like sports, as well as issues they care about, like parental leave and affordable childcare. It's a simple organizing philosophy that political leaders ignore at their peril. Says Justin: "The left's allergy to men is going to be a strategic problem for everything they want to do forever."
