In reply to the discussion: Hey, Joe, can I have a hug? [View all]hlthe2b
(114,224 posts)33. Asked and answered (by Biden). For some there will never be enough mea culpas for them;
Never an apology that says the exact words, in the exact order, the exact volume, the exact number of repetitions, the exact pitch, rate, and fluency THEY want to hear, never a pledge to learn from evolving societal norms that is sufficient.
And THAT refusal to ever show the grace to acknowledge an individual might be sincere in their pledge to actually learn, evolve and change is precisely why this is backfiring now--"bigly" as the orange menace would say (and who stands to benefit the most from this compounding).
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

He might be sincere. Or he might continue making jokes about asking permission. Time will tell.

I like the point Barbara Boxer made. . . do we want all men to be like Mike Pence?
