Just yesterday. Seriously. Yesterday.
“Joe Biden Tells 10-Year-Old Girl: ‘I’ll Bet You’re as Bright as You Are Good-Looking” [Glamour]
Glamour is becoming quite the feminist magazine, frankly. When I was young my sisters read it and it was all about boys and hair and lipstick. No longer.
I don’t need to go any further in this diary. I intend to get flamed for divisiveness, when it is Joe Biden explicitly refusing to care what people have said about him. He is asserting his power, period, by insisting on doing this kind of handsy bullshit.
We have folks who don’t want to hear that Joe is not listening and won’t change and we have some folks who simply hate him no matter what. Neither is right. Joe Biden is a complicated character. I admit that. He has a history that is potentially useful against Trump.
But in the end, I don’t think he is taking his new reality seriously and that is not ok for the rest of us. We need a leader who will NOT fuck up like this.
This was a big deal a couple of months ago and now it happens again and crickets on Daily Kos, in the mainstream media, etc.
Why?
Have we decided he gets a pass? All of us are ok with that?
Trump won’t forget it. Or his PR folks won’t. This video will go viral if Biden is our nominee.
Again, I want to have a real discussion about the candidates. Biden is attempting to coast in without even holding public events. We must force him into the public sphere. This is not how he wants that to happen, so he should stop grabbing women and hold a town hall.
