i want a t shirt: JOE CAN HUG N KISS ME ANYTIME... samnsara May 2019 #2

That's not helpful. NurseJackie May 2019 #3

I have to agree with you LongtimeAZDem May 2019 #4

Yes.. the call outs are tacky. I think the sentiment may be pretty broadly out there, though. hlthe2b May 2019 #6

That's not helpful at all actually uawchild May 2019 #7

That woman identified herself to an NBC reporter as Libby Peterson. I haven't been able to find any highplainsdem May 2019 #9

Libby is a nickname for Elizabeth. nt woodsprite May 2019 #78

Think of the positive LibFarmer May 2019 #26

I'm sorry, but there's no way "You can hug me" equates with "You can grab my pussy." highplainsdem May 2019 #8

Thank you DownriverDem May 2019 #13

Actually... NurseJackie May 2019 #16

From what I've seen on social media, Biden's opponents on both left and right haven't stopped highplainsdem May 2019 #19

All I can tell you is that Ms. Peterson isn't helping anything. NurseJackie May 2019 #21

I don't think it will hurt Biden LibFarmer May 2019 #28

Why not just let it die? These types of constant reminders... NurseJackie May 2019 #29

Letting is die is not in Biden's LibFarmer May 2019 #31

Oh please! NurseJackie May 2019 #34

Oh ... I misunderstood LibFarmer May 2019 #56

So, how can he let it die? Drunken Irishman May 2019 #32

Defending and encouraging this type of tacky behavior... NurseJackie May 2019 #33

Yes. Humiliating a woman in front of a crowd is a real winner. Drunken Irishman May 2019 #35

Did I say that? NurseJackie May 2019 #36

Yes. Yes you did. Drunken Irishman May 2019 #37

You're seeing what you want to see. NurseJackie May 2019 #42

lol you think it's an excellent start to humiliate someone... Drunken Irishman May 2019 #67

If Biden can learn and grow and change, then it would serve him well if his supporters did the same. NurseJackie May 2019 #68

Not calling for Biden to do it from the podium as you implied. NurseJackie May 2019 #72

Mhm. So you have no point, then. Drunken Irishman May 2019 #73

PS: ... NurseJackie May 2019 #75

You make an excellent point... I get it. InAbLuEsTaTe May 2019 #81

"That's an excellent start"??? You would have had him START with admonishing (scolding) her? highplainsdem May 2019 #38

I never said that and you know it. WE are the ones encouraging it... NurseJackie May 2019 #43

You DID say that, as Drunken Irishman pointed out. highplainsdem May 2019 #46

This is absurd. I can't be any clearer than I've already been. NurseJackie May 2019 #48

He is 30 or 40 points ahead and it will never end for those on the right and those who support other Demsrule86 May 2019 #55

Humor is dismissive to those who want to be heard. I think they can be heard without... NurseJackie May 2019 #60

Yep. Not the same thing. Glimmer of Hope May 2019 #49

I'd bet he gets a lot more of that... The women with whom I've spoken about this (older than 20s) hlthe2b May 2019 #5

He meant no harm DownriverDem May 2019 #12

No he clearly didn't and I think that is what has some women so upset about it all. hlthe2b May 2019 #15

How can people "all move on now" when loudmouth...hecklers like her keep bringing it up? NurseJackie May 2019 #18

Don't insert yourself into a political campaign with something like this. WeekiWater May 2019 #20

It is extremely helpful to society if those who abuse ME TOO like the Biden accusers stop doing Demsrule86 May 2019 #57

This won't stop anything. Won't have an impact on anything. WeekiWater May 2019 #58

That is what I mean...these false accusations hurt the movement but apparently thankfully do not Demsrule86 May 2019 #59

Yes. And as you pointed out, it won't die naturally ucrdem May 2019 #62

Understandable. WeekiWater May 2019 #63

I thought he handled it just fine. MineralMan May 2019 #22

So did I. And it wasn't just our opinion. You could tell from the highplainsdem May 2019 #25

I think it was probably meant to show support ucrdem May 2019 #39

+1,000,000 highplainsdem May 2019 #41

Why encourage it? Why excuse it? NurseJackie May 2019 #44

I think what she was saying was, we're with you ucrdem May 2019 #45

She may very well have been. But... NurseJackie May 2019 #50

Could be. Still, I think many also resent an obvious hit job. ucrdem May 2019 #51

Way to be dismissive... NurseJackie May 2019 #54

The way I read it is pushback against a destructive RW meme. ucrdem May 2019 #61

No I didn't see anything like that. NurseJackie May 2019 #65

A great response from Biden Politicub May 2019 #47

I'm so fucking tired of this being a joke. WhiskeyGrinder May 2019 #64
