Joe Biden stands accused of sexual assault. And the Democratic Party leadership, which had been loud in its support for #MeToo, is suddenly……..silent. But: is it possible to support BOTH #MeToo AND Biden's candidacy? Is it possible to BOTH take this more recent allegation seriously AND ALSO deem Biden a worthy candidate for president? In this bonus episode of Reckonings -- alas, no -- we're not doing a restorative justice dialogue between Joe Biden and his accuser Tara Reade. What we're doing is being introduced to Reckonings' new sister show: Infinite Lunchbox! And we're going to hear an Infinite Lunchbox episode on Biden, #MeToo, and the prospect of *growing in public*.
NOTE: Infinite Lunchbox is better viewed than heard — watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUoBYHx_cMs
