Biden wrote the Violence Against Women Act

Yes his treatment of Anita Hill was wrong. But if we look at the totality of his career he is a strong supporter of women and progressive policies.

If I were to vote in a presidential

I know she is a Sanders supporter. This gives me pause and one reason I hoped Sanders would not run is we don't need to emerge from the primary with a beat up candidate who can't win.

Let's look at Sanders writing an essay in which a woman fantasizes about being "raped by three men simultaneously."

Snopes says it is true and provides the details of the essay. I will not reproduce it here, anyone can go to the link
