Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Harris: 'I believe' Biden accusers [View all]ecstatic
(32,653 posts)190. Hell, I "believe," them, but I still think it's petty / silly.
And I say this as someone who has always felt uncomfortable with hugs and over the top greetings/affection from friends and strangers alike. Biden, like millions of people, has a way of expressing himself socially. There are introverts, extroverts, and in-betweeners. You not only observe this as a toddler, but you have a pretty good idea of where you'll stand in the social personality spectrum as well. All that being said: If you don't want someone to hug you, just say so and move on. Or recoil in disgust if you're too scared to say anything. No need for all this dramatic bullshit or making a mountain out of a molehill. Just my opinion!
If I were to vote in a presidential

No I am not. Should she be the nominee, she has my vote in the general but not the primary.
