Biden

Image may contain: 3 people, people smiling, suit

Holy shit. Now the misogynists in my own party are trying to tear down Ms Flores by noting that she has posed for photos touching men and especially posed with Bernie touching her. It's all a plot to crush Biden, supposedly. A political "hit job"!!

Saying this woman is lying because she touched someone or is seen being touched by someone is nuts. Not all touching is the same!! Touching while posing for a picture is not the same as having someone come up behind you and sniff your hair. You'd think we are sophisticated enough to consider some subtlety here.

And this is the same argument Biden is making - I'm friendly. I touch people. I don't MEAN ANYTHING BY IT. 

So we're back to the same place - women are unreasonable, over sensitive. NOT IN CONTROL OF OUR OWN BODIES!

Expecting our candidate to be decent to women and holding them to a high standard is NOT going to get Trump re-elected. 

This conversation is worth having. Women have a right to their own personal body integrity, WHATEVER that means to THEM.
