Supreme leader Biden

[Στρακαστρουκας]

Τα tax cuts δεν είναι τόσο για αυτούς, είναι για την αμερικανική εργατική και μεσοαστική τάξη, που δρέπουν τους καρπούς της ανάπτυξης. Ξέρεις, αυτούς που ξεμούνιασε ο Ομπάμα για να ταΐσει άεργους κοπρίτες ή ορδές παράνομων μεταναστών και γύρισαν την πλάτη στη μάγισσα το '16.

Οτι λεγανε και οι ευγενεις στην Γαλλια πριν την επανασταση του 1789

αν βγει ο Μαιντεν πιστευεις οτι θα γινει καπιοια αναλογη επανασταση στις ΗΠΑ ...?

Τα tax cuts δεν είναι τόσο για αυτούς, είναι για την αμερικανική εργατική και μεσοαστική τάξη, που δρέπουν τους καρπούς της ανάπτυξης. Ξέρεις, αυτούς που ξεμούνιασε ο Ομπάμα για να ταΐσει άεργους κοπρίτες ή ορδές παράνομων μεταναστών και γύρισαν την πλάτη στη μάγισσα το '16.

Σωστά, την εργατική τάξη που βγάζει πάνω από 400 χιλιάρικα το χρόνο.

Παρακαλάτε να νικήσει ο πασιφιστής Μπάιντεν γιατί δε σας βλέπω καλά.

Αυτά τα έχουμε ξανασυζητησει και πριν το '16. Δεν σας παίρνει για τέτοιες απειλές, τα όπλα στην Αμερική ξέρεις ποιοι τα έχουν κατά βάση.

Τώρα είναι που εκδηλώνει την έντονη επιθετικότητά του.

Joe Biden hasn’t changed his behavior with girls and women. For his base, that might be fine.
Recent incidents have drawn scrutiny, but some voters may like Biden just the way he is.

Joe Biden hasn’t changed.

After several women said earlier this year that Biden had touched them in ways that made them uncomfortable, the former vice president and 2020 Democratic candidate promised to be “much more mindful” of people’s personal space.

But recent incidents tell a different story.

Last month, he called a 10-year-old girl “good-looking” at a campaign event. Then, this week, he told the brothers of a 13-year-old Iowa girl to “keep the guys away from your sister.” And in an exchange that went viral on Twitter, he wagged his finger at an activist, K.C. Cayo, who asked him about abortion rights.



Ultimately, Biden may not feel he needs to change his behavior very much. He’s long cast himself as an old-school candidate who can bring Democrats back to an earlier era — “the stand-in for a generation of Americans disoriented by changing mores,” as BuzzFeed’s Ben Smith put it. Given that, his refusal to alter the way he interacts with women and girls may be part of his brand. Biden is a candidate from a time before #MeToo entered its most public phase, and for some voters, that might be a selling point — to change himself would be to leave them behind.

For others, though, Biden’s behavior calls into question whether he would truly represent them as president. “Women and our allies are not going to tolerate politicians like this anymore,” Cayo told Vice News. “We’re sick of it.”

Biden’s recent comments recall a long history with girls and women.

Biden has long been known for touching and standing close to women, earning the nickname “Creepy Uncle Joe.” But as Laura McGann wrote at Vox, the press treated the behavior more as a joke than as a serious issue — until this year.

In March, former Nevada lieutenant governor candidate Lucy Flores wrote in an essay at New York Magazine’s the Cut that Biden had smelled her hair and planted an unwelcome kiss on her head during a campaign event in 2014. Shortly thereafter, other women came forward to describe encounters with Biden that made them feel uncomfortable. The former vice president eventually released a video statement saying that “social norms are changing” and pledging to change along with them.



But the stories kept coming. At a Texas campaign event in May, he said to a 10-year-old girl, “I bet you’re as bright as you are good-looking.” On Wednesday, he had a controversial exchange with a 13-year-old girl and her family at an Iowa event.



The teacher of the girl who met Biden in Texas released a statement saying that the girl and her mother were “proud” of the interaction with the former vice president. But Biden’s comments in both instances were widely criticized, with some arguing that Biden was, intentionally or not, sexualizing the young girls involved. Remarks like these turn girls “from person to object,” Emily Peck wrote at HuffPost. “Ask any woman, and you’ll find she was once a little girl made uncomfortable by some adult talking about how she would grow up one day to be a ‘heartbreaker.’”

On Tuesday, Biden met student activist K.C. Cayo at Iowa event. Cayo, who is based in Wisconsin, told Vice they are part of a group that “bird-dogs” candidates, showing up at events to ask them about their policy positions. Cayo asked Biden about the Hyde Amendment, the ban on federal funding for abortions on which he’s changed positions in recent days.

In response, Cayo told Vice, Biden brought up the Violence Against Women Act, a 1994 law he co-authored that was the first comprehensive national legislation to address domestic violence and sexual assault. In the conversation that ensued, Cayo, who uses they/them pronouns, and the two women activists with them, asked Biden to protect assault survivors.

“Then he leaned in very close to my face and started wagging his finger at me,” Cayo told Vice. “He said, ‘Nobody has spoken about it, done more, or changed more than I have.’”

“I can now make the connection between the man I saw and the man accused of harassment by multiple women,” Cayo added. “I saw a man capable of those things: A man who can’t take responsibility, who doesn’t respect women, and who gets in their personal space.”

The Biden campaign declined to comment to Vox about the Iowa incidents.

The candidate’s base may not want him to change his behavior.

Given that Biden has recently been accused of inappropriate touching, you might think he would be on high alert when it comes to his behavior around girls and women. But that’s not how the candidate operates.

Even in his video response to the allegations earlier this year, he suggested that he wouldn’t be changing his general style very much. “I shake hands, I hug people, I grab men and women by the shoulders,” he said. “It’s the way I’ve always been.”

“I’ll always believe governing — quite frankly, life, for that matter — is about connecting with people,” he added.

In the video and other responses to the allegations, he’s made clear that he doesn’t believe he did anything fundamentally wrong in his interactions with Flores or other women. At one point, he told reporters, “I’m not sorry for anything that I have ever done.” And he may be betting that his biggest supporters don’t want him to change in response to his critics.

New York Times reporter Astead Herndon noted that in conversations with some voters, Biden emerges as “a vessel for those Dems who think recent movements have made the party too ‘PC.’ They’re not supporting him in spite of actions like this, but [because] of it.”

Biden has always been something of a nostalgia candidate — an “Obama-Biden Democrat” who rejects the party’s recent leftward turn — and voters who want a return to the past may not mind someone who makes jokes about brothers protecting their sisters from boys, or who gets a bit angry when his record is challenged. They may actually like it.

As Herndon notes, it’s unclear if those voters are enough to carry Biden to the presidency. He’s still leading in the polls, but recent polling also suggests many Democrats, including men, are growing more concerned about sexism and men’s power in government.

Biden seems to be betting that there are enough Americans who like him just the way he is — even prefer him that way — that there’s no need to quit making the kind of jokes and gestures he’s always made. Only time will tell if he’s right.

Here are all the times Joe Biden has been accused of acting inappropriately toward women and girls.

Former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, is facing heightened scrutiny over his past conduct towards women.

Eight women have alleged that Biden either touched them inappropriately or violated their personal space in ways that made them uncomfortable.

One of those women, Tara Reade, alleges that Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993. Biden has unequivocally denied assaulting or harassing Reade.

Biden has also been criticized for repeatedly commenting on the physical appearance of women on the campaign trail, and for refusing to explicitly apologize for his behavior.

Over the last year, former Vice President Joe Biden has faced scrutiny over his interactions with women, as well as his refusal to apologize for his controversial behavior.

In March 2020, former Senate aide Tara Reade alleged that Biden sexually assaulted her while she worked for his office in 1993. Biden has unequivocally denied assaulting or harassing Reade.

Eight women, including Reade, have accused Biden of touching them inappropriately or invading their personal space in ways that made them feel uncomfortable. Seven of the women said Biden's behavior did not amount to sexual harassment or assault.

Biden released a two-minute video after the initial allegations were made public in April 2019, but he was criticized for giving what critics deemed a "non-apology apology," in which he said he would try to do better moving forward. He later said he's "not sorry for anything that I've ever done."

The Delaware Democrat was further criticized for repeatedly making light of the allegations, and for commenting on the physical appearance of young girls he met on the 2020 campaign trail.

Here are all of the allegations against Biden:

Reade first alleged in April 2019 that Biden would repeatedly "put his hand on my shoulder and run his finger up my neck" while she was employed in his Senate office from December 1992 to August 1993.

She also alleged that she was asked to serve drinks at a work event because Biden liked her legs. Reade said when she refused to serve the drinks, her work responsibilities were reduced and she left her job.

In March 2020, Reade first publicly alleged that Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993, pressing her against a wall in a Capitol Hill corridor, reaching under her skirt, and digitally penetrating her.

Reade said she filed a complaint with the Senate personnel office concerning Biden's alleged "sexual harassment and retaliation," but didn't mention the alleged assault.

Lucy Flores alleged in March 2019 that Biden grasped her shoulders from behind and kissed the back of her head without her consent during a campaign event in 2014.

Flores, a Democratic politician from Nevada, made her allegations in an essay published in New York Magazine's The Cut in late March 2019.

Flores said that while she was preparing to go onstage at a 2014 rally during her race for lieutenant governor, Biden came up behind her, put his hands on her shoulders, smelled her hair, and kissed the back of her head.

"My brain couldn't process what was happening. I was embarrassed. I was shocked. I was confused," she wrote. "The vice-president of the United States of America had just touched me in an intimate way reserved for close friends, family, or romantic partners — and I felt powerless to do anything about it ... Even if his behavior wasn't violent or sexual, it was demeaning and disrespectful."

Ally Coll, a former Democratic staffer, told The Washington Post in April 2019 that when she met Biden in 2008, he complimented her smile, squeezed her shoulders, and held her "for a beat too long."

Coll initially brushed off the incident, but she told The Post that reflecting on it now, she believes Biden's actions were inappropriate.

"There's been a lack of understanding about the way that power can turn something that might seem innocuous into something that can make somebody feel uncomfortable," Coll told The Post in April 2019.

Karasek was one of dozens of sexual-assault survivors who stood on stage while Lady Gaga performed, "Til It Happens To You," a song concerning rape and sexual assault, at the 2016 Academy Awards.

A photograph from the event of the then-22 year old and Biden holding hands and touching foreheads went viral, but Karasek told The Washington Post in 2019 that she felt Biden had encroached on her personal space.

She also said she didn't think Biden's 2019 apology video adequately addressed the allegations against him. Biden never explicitly apologized for his actions, and Karasek said he "didn't take ownership in the way that he needs to."

"He emphasized that he wants to connect with people and, of course, that's important," she said. "But again, all of our interactions and friendships are a two-way street … Too often it doesn't matter how the woman feels about it or they just assume that they're fine with it."

Amy Stokes Lappos alleges Biden pulled her face close to him during a 2009 political fundraiser.

Lappos, a small business owner and Democratic political activist, told the Hartford Courant in April 2019 that Biden "put his hands behind my head and pulled me close and I thought, 'he's going to kiss me.'"

Lappos said her interaction with Biden occurred at a Greenwich, Connecticut fundraiser for Democratic Rep. Jim Himes in 2009.

Caitlyn Caruso said that after she shared her story of sexual assault at a University of Nevada event in 2016, Biden hugged her "just a little bit too long" and put his hand on her thigh.

"It doesn't even really cross your mind that such a person would dare perpetuate harm like that," Caruso told The New York Times in April 2019. "These are supposed to be people you can trust."

DJ Hill alleges Biden rested his hand on her shoulder and moved it down her back at a 2012 fundraising event in Minneapolis. Hill said the encounter made her "very uncomfortable."

"Only he knows his intent," Hill told The New York Times in April 2019. "If something makes you feel uncomfortable, you have to feel able to say it."

Vail Kohnert-Yount, a former White House intern, said when she met Biden in 2013, he "put his hand on the back of my head and pressed his forehead to my forehead." Kohnert-Yount also said Biden called her a "pretty girl."

Kohnert-Yount told The Washington Post in April 2019 she was "so shocked" by her encounter with Biden that "it was hard to focus on what he was saying."

She said she wouldn't classify Biden's actions as sexual misconduct, but added that it's "the kind of inappropriate behavior that makes many women feel uncomfortable and unequal in the workplace."

In June 2019, Biden told the brothers of a 13-year-old girl to "keep the guys away" from her at a campaign event.

The Boston Globe reported that the interaction occurred when Biden met a voter at a coffee shop before a campaign event in Iowa.

When Biden met the voter's granddaughter, he asked her age. After she replied that she was 13 years old, Biden turned to her brothers and said, "You've got one job here, keep the guys away from your sister."

At a May 2019 campaign event, Biden told a 10-year-old girl, "I bet you're as bright as you are good-looking."

The girl's teacher and mother defended Biden, but progressive critics argued the comments were further evidence of the candidate's sexism.
