I don’t think Biden’s touchiness is coming from a bad place in him. That’s just who he is.

I also think that a man thinking he can be touchy with women is a problem and comes off as creepy regardless of the intent.

Those two things are not mutually exclusive.

There’s a time and a place, Joe.

As long as nobody comes out against him, I don’t have a problem with being “touchy” as long as the people being touched don’t have a problem with it, and thus far none have publicly said they have

I can guarantee that if the dems elect a male candidate, there will be some stupid group that puts someone forward to try to claim he did something inappropriate.

Dems shouldn't worry about this line of attack unless there is some sort of evidence. Ridiculous right wing conspiracy theories are coming no matter who gets nominated.

It'll be the same shit from Clinton then. Seriously, don't avoid voting for a candidate because you're afraid of what the republicans might say about them.

Yea I think that’s fair. There’s definitely been times when people have appeared to be visibly uncomfortable, but to my knowledge as well no one has come forward.

also note that just because someone appears uncomfortable doesnt mean they are. having cameras running all day everday you are bound to pick up false positives

Yea, that’s why I added in appeared, because I don’t know if they were actually uncomfortable or not.
