Very true... which is why we need a candidate that has as little baggage as possible while simultaneously enough knowledge and savvy to affirm people on policy but also to deflect their own skeletons when they are dug up. Biden has done a shit job here dealing with this and that tells me he will be eaten alive by his baggage come election season.Democrats are screwed. Something like this is considered problematic for a democratic candidate (rightly so), while Trump seems to be immune to everything.
Title: Joe touched me inappropriately
Content: it wasn't sexual but he made me touch noses
Like come on the guy is weird but that's a disingenuous title.
I didn't know he was the nominee already!Democrats are screwed. Something like this is considered problematic for a democratic candidate (rightly so), while Trump seems to be immune to everything.
Guys who go around telling women on the street to smile probably think they're being kind, friendly and comforting too. I don't want them running the country. I would hope this string of allegations makes him reconsider running. We have plenty of good candidates already and we don't need to take up time on the debate stage watching Joe try to explain away his pattern of creepy behavior.So tiring to see people trying to slap a label on him as a sexual assaulter. He makes people nervous and his behavior is strange. He's just weird and doesn't know boundaries. He's not out there taking advantage of women because he can or for his own sexual gratification or empowerment.
He seems to think that what he does is kind, friendly and comforting, its not and I don't know why he feels him acting this way is what normal people do.
I mean does it matter? No matter who it is there is going to be something.
Some skeletons are too big of a deal to appropriately deal with. There is literally nothing you can say or do to downplay sexual harassment and assault, especially when it involves multiple victims, many of which happened out in the open. This is a culture, not some one or two off incident.Very true... which is why we need a candidate that has as little baggage as possible while simultaneously enough knowledge and savvy to affirm people on policy but also to deflect their own skeletons when they are dug up.

Hopefully that same grandpa, upon someone telling them not to do something, would be able to learn from it. If not, hopefully that same grandpa wouldn't be put in a position of power over woman and children.Where do you draw the line between senior citizen and creepy Joe? I feel like he definitely has too many instances of repeated weird behavior, too much so to give him a pass, but I could also definitely see someone's grandpa doing stuff like this without even thinking twice about how they were coming off.
Today I learned that being grabbed by the neck and being forced to touch noses against my will is an appropriate form of touching.
Thanks, ResetERA!
Classic maneuver of pretending his antics are a partisan smear job rather than a reflection on his character.Is he saying that the pictures are shopped? I dont understand.
Bill Clinton being a rapist smoothed over Trump's open sexual assaults. The bar has been lowered.Democrats are screwed. Something like this is considered problematic for a democratic candidate (rightly so), while Trump seems to be immune to everything.

America are going to shoot themselves in their foot and give Trump four more years in office if this somehow becomes a point of major criticism towards Biden. It should be a warning to Biden and ensure that it won't happen again rather than turn it into something more extreme. I agree that it is inappropriate to touch people and Biden should just stick with a handshake from now on.. close friend a hug and maybe a kiss on the cheek.
No, I said that he should be warned and chastised for his action, but do you think we should disqualify him because of this? This is what Trump and the gop wants and I rather have someone who would try and fight for women right than one that doesn't care about it or for minorities.Are you seriously implying that Biden being a sexual harasser shouldn't be a big deal?!? WTF!

This would be a huge issue if he were the nominee. Dems are held to a different standard than out current president. He should not run.No, I said that he should be warned and chastised for his action, but do you think we should disqualify him because of this?
You don't care about women's rights if you want this fuck to be presidentNo, I said that he should be warned and chastised for his action, but do you think we should disqualify him because of this?

Gotta keep giving old white men excuses and chances after chances.No, I said that he should be warned and chastised for his action
Yes. Or do you think being a sexual harasser is ok?

Hmm.. yea, it would seem that way. If he doesn't run(one who is most likely to beat trump), then who should come up in his place? I am not trump biggest fan, so this seems to be playing into their hands.
You don't care about women's rights if you want this fuck to be president
If you think someone like biden is actually the best one to beat trump your kind of duping yourself. This is just one issue he could throw in biden's face. With biden's record trump could essentially deflect any critisisims of himself back at Biden.
Again, the sexual harassment angle is just one. Trump did the exact same thing against Clinton when he was accused during the campaign trail
That's the picture I've been waiting for. The look on those two guys faces says it all.
Source?That is what the polls is saying not me. I m not trump biggest fan and as I said before, Biden should be criticized for this.

I'd cut some slack to family, and maybe to friends of family, but on a societal level it's something we should leave behind. Boundaries don't disappear when you cross 70, even though current cultural norms says they do.Where do you draw the line between senior citizen and creepy Joe?

Oh wow look at how much he cares about women rights.

A quick google search and you can see Biden leading most of it. Maybe things has changed now though.

Please elaboratemy uncle always tells stories about private conversations with Joe Biden from years ago. I always assumed it was crazy made up uncle stuff but I'm starting to wonder
worked for KavanaughI wouldn't have gone super aggressive against these women speaking up, but what do I know?
just like gross uncle conversationa/locker room stuff. it's probably still fake but I always think about them when I read stuff like this.
Obama was still a politician who wanted to win
