But because it was Bernie Sanders, he gets a pass. Hmmm, what a sexist double standard.

(6,498 posts)Posting it in GD-P seemed kind of weird, somehow.
It did have some entertainment value, I have to admit.
We can all use a break.

(5,815 posts)It kind of explains a lot, when you think about it.
Basic friendly contact, where one person goes around the shoulders and the other goes around the back of the waist towards the hip.
This is also known as Every Picture Taken With Friends and Family Ever.
Anyone who thinks this is weird is weird themselves. How does one muddle through life not understanding how real live human beings interact?
I'd say it's creepy, but it's actually more worrisome and explanatory.
Really. very. explanatory.

(57,936 posts)That Hillaryites are making something of this picture of a totally bored Bernie and a very thrilled female model is funny.
Bernie looks like he is having his picture taken for the umpteenth time and is getting very tired. She looks like she is just thrilled at having a selfie made with Bernie.
The Hillaryites are stooping low tonight. Desperate for a scandal.
There real scandals, the exciting ones, will come out if Hillary actually wrangles the Democratic nomination. The Republicans will make sure of that.

It's "liberals" like these that give real liberals a bad name.

(6,380 posts)At the same time, there would be some who would look at a 68 year old woman with her hand on a 20 something male model's butt and say "you go girl".
I can't tell if you're upset that Hillary would get dumped on or that Bernie didn't get enough dumping. IIRC, there was a lot of skin in that model's dress so, in the split second available to decide "where does my hand go?", Bernie chose fabric vs. skin. What's a guy to do, eh?
And BTW, there were more than a few threads floating around that slammed bernie pretty hard for playing grab-ass so I'm not sure your basic premise ("he gets a pass" stands up. If you're talking about the MSM - maybe the reason he got a pass has nothing to do with sexism and everything to do with people understanding what happened at these huge gatherings with photographers everywhere getting cameo shots. It's not a "non-story" because it's Bernie...it's a non-story because it's a non-story.

From the title of the pic and the similarity of the purse, I think this is the same dress. If so, where would you like to see Bernie put his hand ? Socially, I would think it much more awkward to be rubbing her back, ya think ?

not particularly smart, but it is the only look they seem to have.

(20,586 posts)the woman was wearing a backless dress - actually it was more than backless. He put his hand where there was fabric so his hand was not on bare skin. It's called one of those human experiences - if he left his hand dangling in the air that would be weird, if he put his hand on his bare back that would be uncomfortable for him.
Hillary would probably put her hand at a man's side waist - on the fabric of his pants if he asked for a pic while he was not wearing a shirt. She may keep both hands in front of her.
Half nude people make for awkward situations.

(14,648 posts)On the ridiculous? Sexism is everywhere if you're a Hillary supporter, isn't it? Mountain out of a molehill. Now, a pic of Hillary cozying up to GW Bush would be offensive, but not because of which body parts are touching and not because of sexism, but because she seems to enjoy being with war criminals. Don't worry, you don't have to look very far to find one.

(854 posts)So let me get this right: Bernie with his arms around a supporter = Hillarians get the vapors.
Bill masturbates an intern with a cigar in the Oval Office, gets a blowjob from that intern then lies about it under oath = nothing to see here???
Ok then. Carry on with that outrage, brave political warriors. Your cause is righteous.
