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

Let's all move on now, okay?

How can people "all move on now" when loudmouth attention-seeking hecklers like her keep bringing it up? What good purpose does it serve?

Why defend or encourage things like this? It only keeps it at the forefront... it only serves as a reminder of what was said before... and for those who happened to be completely unaware the first time around, it just MAKES them aware.

How is this a good thing?

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

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

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

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
