In reply to the discussion: if you want to defend biden, please stop, stop stop attacking lucy flores [View all]unblock
(52,440 posts)30. there are many ways to *defend* him without *attacking* her.
her allegation is extremely mild. there's plenty of room to say there may have been a difference of interpretation as to exactly what happened or that in any event what she said wasn't anything near as bad as a fraction of the crap donald fraud's been accused of, or hell, bragged about. or that biden is the kind of guy who listens to women and will make a slight adjustment in his behavior and let's move on.
but shutting her down the way every other woman who ever complains about male behavior gets shut down is beneath the standards of democrats and du, imho.
ooh, she let this guy touch her once, she must be lying about objecting to that guy touching her. how are we ok with that kind of argument??

Criticizing her isn't required to see her assertions as not disqualifying to Biden's campaign.

She is sent to take out Biden. Won't work. She is a Sanders surrogate sent by Sirota.

it's unreal seeing people here doing exactly what they'd flip out if republicans did it.
