In Unity with Joe Biden: A New Dem Greeting

[JaneQPublic]

A lot of Dems are advising Joe to abandon his habit of hugging and cuddling and hand-holding, etc.

A more effective way of stifling all the media haranguing might be to instead have all Dems adopt Joe's way: Make the official party greeting the practice of sniffing each other's hair and rubbing noses.

It's a good way to mock a media sensation that's already ridiculous in its own right. Plus, it always seems to work for Trump and other GOPers to "Double-Down." And it's a great way for all candidates and supporters to show party unity.

I think it could work .

1. I'm with Joe,

2. No. Never.

I get that it's just for fun. It's a really bad idea.

Please abandon the practice except under very specific circumstances.

3. Joe should not change who he is

That will take away his authenticity and would promote a narrative that he was wrong all along.

4. I'm with Joe, too

But I honestly think he needs to speak to the issue, tells us what he's learned, and then carry on. Making this all into a joke or mock fest from other Democrats and/or supporters would simply make things worse.

As an adult, I can support Joe Biden and still support credible claims/complaints made by women. The two sides are not mutually exclusive. However, as an adult I can also sniff out the bogus or over-the-top complaining done for political purposes.

As for unity? Yes, important. But I don't want to see us become as crass as the Trumpsters.
