      Biden’s comments saying he’d beat Trump up… makes it seem like the issue is women need a strong guy to look out for them and threaten other guys who don’t treat them with respect. But that’s not the issue. It’s a very outdated way of thinking. (1/x)

      Biden also, during the Anita Hill time, told her, "Aw kiddo, I feel for you. I wish I weren’t the chairman, I’d come be your lawyer.” — But that’s not what she needed. She needed him to conduct the hearing in a way that didn’t give Clarence Thomas an advantage. (2/x)

          Biden has done a ton of amazing policy work on violence against women. Far more productive than macho rhetoric. (3/x)

          And also... toxic masculinity is part of the problem. Including hyper-macho language. It feels very “I’ll defend your honor, missy!”

          Biden is out of touch with 'the strong woman ethic', Dems please stop pushing him for Pres., we need younger candidates.

          Oh for crap sake! This fighting between Dems is going to end up hurting us and sticking us with Trump another 4 years!

          wait are we not having a primary? Is having multiple candidates run in a presidential primary counter-productive "fighting" now?

          Biden has already apologized for his stance during the hearings

          We should be thankful his consciousness was raised. That's the point of the movement. He was not aware, and now he is. And his behavior reflects that.

          Exactly! @JoeBiden May be a good guy but he is not the answer as a @TheDemocrats presidential candidate unless @POTUS44 is also on the ticket. Otherwise, we need a fresh face with new ideas and I don’t mean that Kennedy kid.

          Replying to @aterkel

          The Democrats probably wanted Thomas to be confirmed. Having Thomas in the Supreme Court sets up for rolling back Roe vs. Wade (with Casey vs. Planned Parenthood). From there, they figure Democrats will vote more. Making voters scared of Republicans has always been the standard

          Third Way tactic for winning which politicans like Bowen have preferred. History shows Democrats best by getting voters excited with progressive candidates. But the party leadership doesn't like to do that.

          So start a fight between Dems. Sometimes it is best for YOU to STHU more than Biden.
