I don't need you to explain the context of the 2020 election. We're talking about a fucking primary election here and in the context of this article we're talking about someone who hasn't even declared yet!

I can understand the difference between a biological need for touch and how inappropriate it is to touch someone in a way that crosses social boundaries. I don't know why you are struggling with that. 

Did I say I care about Bernie?

Exposed? You're the one changing the context of what we're even fucking talking about with this article! We're talking about a dude who has crossed boundaries and touched women in ways that made them feel uncomfortable. We are not talking about a biological need to touch. 

Don't touch people who don't want to be touched. How hard is that to understand?

Don't sniff a woman's hair if you don't know her you moron. Can you not understand social context? What is wrong with you? 

I don't want Biden in the primary regardless, he's a weak candidate who has already lost more than one presidential election. But you should also recognize how women perceive his history and current actions. It ain't a good look. 

What does social touch have to do with strangers invading your personal space? I social touch with my friends and family, not at professional events. Can you not tell the difference? 

LOL, what are you even talking about?

I have no idea, he hasn’t even declared yet. We haven’t had any debates yet. I guess everyone forgot the last time he ran for president he was famous for his gaffes.

If you don’t know why women don’t always speak up in the moment — especially when it’s the flippin’ VICE PRESIDENT being a creep— then you haven’t been paying to the national conversation about consent that’s been ongoing for the last few years. Maybe men could stop being creeps, then we wouldn’t have to call them out…

It’s the women who get punished for trying to change this. Until men are actually held accountable for their actions, women aren’t going to be able to just speak up.

Thank you for your unsolicited political analysis. I remember when people said the same things about Obama.

Exactly this! 

Hi! Did you know we’re talking about a primary election? This is when we get to vet candidates and decide who will be the best representative for the party. He hasn’t even declared yet! So I don’t actually have to consider him a viable candidate at all -- since he’s not yet a candidate. 

I shouldn’t have been shocked by the turn in rhetoric, but here we are.

Oh! Why didn’t women ever consider speaking up!? I can’t believe we never thought of it!

You need someone to read the fucking comments to you?

Do your own research. 

Hi, maybe you’re confused but we’re talking about the primary election here -- the exact time to be vetting our candidates and voting for the one who best represents us.
