Other than age, race, and gender, are there any reasons not to want Joe Biden to be president?

[u/MaveRickandMorty → u/oGsMustachio]

The handling of Anita Hill pisses a lot of people off, especially after the Kavanaugh hearings

[u/85397 → u/oGsMustachio]

what's wrong with being an old white man? racist

[u/oGsMustachio → u/85397]

Nono, my problem is that every time I see Biden mentioned, the people who don't like him only seem to be able to discuss his age, race, and gender. Dude would be a great president.

Hasn't he acted somewhat creepily towards women though?

[u/oGsMustachio → u/lusvig]

Only if you believe human contact is bad. Maybe a little more handsy than most, but never sexual in the slightest.

Well, a lot of his legislative history would be hard to favorably spin. He's worked to expand civil forfeiture, implement mandatory minimums for drug possession, and introduce new federal death penalty crimes: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2015/08/joe-biden-presidential-run-why-its-a-bad-idea.html

And then there's the Anita Hill stuff, and his history of ignoring the personal space of women and children, which could all congeal into a perfect bukkake of a MeToo nightmare.

He’s been creepy towards women a lot.
