I think it is also a lesson for the media. Women are not all thinking in "lockstep" and should not be treated as a monolith.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

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

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

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

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

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
