I'm With Joe, However, A Question For All of You

If we as a party take Lucy's advice, and disqualify Joe, for maybe smelling hair or a kiss on the head, (and the organizer IS NOT backing up her claim) while several Presidential candidates failed to stop Kavanaugh as members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, what credibility do we have left as a party with any self-respect, unity, strength, or leadership?

Dr. Ford had a timeline. It matched Kavanaugh's. But still-he goes onto this court after going full Trump.

But hair smelling-and save your strawman tropes. THIS PARTY GETS DESTROYED by Republicans time after time and their best weapon is strawmen. It seems our education helps us to be very good at recognizing them, not so good at defending against them. So the question remains the same-and bonus question if Joe stays out because of this do you understand that our entire party will be viewed by the mainstream electorate as a bunch of sniveling cowards?

Yes or no?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

in the Senate. What could they have done to stop the vote on Kavanaugh? You attributed power to them that the minority party doesn't have.

'invading' your space ....which means anyone can be attacked. Two pictures one of Sanders and one of Biden with Flores...both have hands on her shoulder. Total bull shit.

As Mika said, he is affectionate in a safe way.

The same could have been said of Franken.
