The thing for me is that I don't see support of Reade being anything more than politics in the US as usual. None of this brings Biden to a reckoning. Nor does it demonstrate any progress toward addressing sexual assault or harassment.

Weaponizing a woman's trauma is the history of being a woman for, well, forever.

And as far as Biden is concerned, we have all by now seen how well he didn't treat Anita Hill. That, in and of itself, should have been enough for Obama campaign staff to have never let Biden's foot through the door.

But here we are. Biden wasn't a viable presidential candidate in the 1980s, and he isn't now.
