Apr 2019

That about sums up the severity of the problem.

Kind of tells you all you need to know about those thinking he shouldn't run because of this.

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

The controversy over Joe Biden's treatment of women, explained [View all] Uncle Joe Apr 2019 OP

Sanders won't win a general so let's hope he out quick in the primary. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #1

Can't really add anything to that LongtimeAZDem Apr 2019 #2

Are you suggesting the women that have come forward don't know their own feelings? Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #3

In the case of Flores, I doubt her story completely LongtimeAZDem Apr 2019 #7

What? PatSeg Apr 2019 #18

It was never about sex so much as an invasion of personal space and a resultant feeling Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #19

A "loss of identity power" because of a kiss on the head? Seriously? LongtimeAZDem Apr 2019 #20

Even an invasive shoulder rub can do it, I remember when D.U. thought this was out of bounds Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #22

DU thought it was treestar Apr 2019 #23

None of the women that have come forward to my knowledge Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #24

That doesn't rate going on all of the pundit shows and saying it disqualifies a candidate LongtimeAZDem Apr 2019 #25

Who said it disqualifies a candidate? Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #26

Flores and Lappos both said Biden shouldn't run because of this LongtimeAZDem Apr 2019 #29

Do you have a link where they say it disqualifies Joe from running? Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #32

Is your Google not working? LongtimeAZDem Apr 2019 #33

Despite the title and a paragraph in your Flores article, there is no actual quote from her Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #34

I guess you're insinuating that the reporter was lying, but here is the actual quote: LongtimeAZDem Apr 2019 #35

Did you read your own article? There are no quotes from Lucy stating that Biden should be Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #36

"For me, it (Biden's behavior) is disqualifying." LongtimeAZDem Apr 2019 #37

I just supplied you with a post wherein Lucy states categorically that she would vote for Biden Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #38

I don't believe that BlueFlorida Apr 2019 #58

Flores said she woulc vote for him if he won the nomination CentralMass Apr 2019 #66

+1 treestar Apr 2019 #45

I can't imagine "identity diminishment" or "loss of personal power" over such a thing treestar Apr 2019 #44

Your opinion is not universal. Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #52

I never expect any opinion of mine to be "universal" treestar Apr 2019 #75

+1000 nt BlueFlorida Apr 2019 #59

That is a very startling assertion. I have to admit I know zero about Flores, except Joe... Hekate Apr 2019 #64

As do I. She was a juvenile offender, and credits her parole officer with helping LongtimeAZDem Apr 2019 #65

I am confused. Why can Bernie put hands on shoulders give hugs etc and it is okay trueblue2007 Apr 2019 #50

Because he's her "Daddy"? OilemFirchen Apr 2019 #55

... BlueFlorida Apr 2019 #60

Because he is not a corporatist oligarch centrist silly treestar Apr 2019 #76

"Identity power"? What the hell is that? Triloon Apr 2019 #106

Sure they do. Flores was coached carefully . As for eskimo kiss Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #28

What do you doubt about her story ? CentralMass Apr 2019 #67

I am good friends with Sarah Slamen, a former sanders campaign worker Gothmog Apr 2019 #41

I believe this to be a sound analysis of the issue, one sided media coverage and how Bernie's Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #42

Denial is not just a river in Africa Gothmog Apr 2019 #47

"How Bernie's campaign has addressed it"? I don't believe he's explained... George II Apr 2019 #56

sanders met with some but not all of the persons complaining for 15 to 30 minutes Gothmog Apr 2019 #89

There was a lot of grumbling from many who traveled to Washington to "meet him", angry.... George II Apr 2019 #91

The Washington Post is also asking questions about this Gothmog Apr 2019 #100

From the Washington Post-Sanders needs to answer some questions Gothmog Apr 2019 #102

I don't expect any positive news to come from Bezos' newspaper regarding Bernie. Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #105

sanders has not correct the sexual abuse issues in his campaign Gothmog Apr 2019 #113

No I am suggesting they are politically motived, liars Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #70

No, I think they are lying for political reasons. This is not a me to thing Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #98

I have seen no one equate this to sexual assault, not the women, none of the candidates, not Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #99

I am not pointing fingers at you but I believe it was presentd by the women involved like a me to Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #101

My reading of their take is just the opposite, they never accused Biden of sexual assault, Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #104

It is women accusing a man of bad behavior. Very much like Franken Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #107

God I'm hoping. Amimnoch Apr 2019 #8

He won't get out quickly. He has money and loyal supporters. marylandblue Apr 2019 #61

He had money last time...it still won't help him win a nomination. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #71

Well based on his previous behavior, he's going to stick around at least through the convention marylandblue Apr 2019 #74

"that any modern HR department would probably warn against" WeekiWater Apr 2019 #4

People are fired for not changing behavior similar to Biden's after they've been warned. WhiskeyGrinder Apr 2019 #5

I find that to be an extremely weak position to hold. WeekiWater Apr 2019 #6

I would consider the current discussion over his behavior a warning. WhiskeyGrinder Apr 2019 #10

Understood. You don't think there is a real issue. WeekiWater Apr 2019 #11

It has been pointed out to him in the past, and he has changed his behaviour floppyboo Apr 2019 #9

Fortunately you have a lot of choices PatSeg Apr 2019 #21

Biden Advisers Think Bernie Sanders Is Behind The Allegations Of Inappropriate Behavior Gothmog Apr 2019 #39

No proof or evidence, perhaps some in Biden's camp are pushing this because they believe Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #43

She is on the board of Our revolution. And we know Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #46

No she is not on the board of Our Revolution. You have been told that many times and Autumn Apr 2019 #49

Whatever. Everything you say is suspect to me because you are knowingly Autumn Apr 2019 #77

Also, I used the words 'is or was' on the board. After all the campaign denied tha Sirota was Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #80

You used the word is, deliberately, not was. After knowing she wasn't on the board. Autumn Apr 2019 #84

I have used the word was...but I think she is still a sanders supporter and I don't believe Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #85
