That right there is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. You know that Biden's touchy-feely past has alienated him from women voters because that's the narrative that has emerged from twitter and the media channels you use. But you're not taking into consideration that these channels are aimed at only a narrow slide of the electorate. A narrow slice even of Democrats.
Turns out Biden's history doesn't bother nearly as many people nearly as much as those media channels would have you think.

Biden not only leads the pack among Democrats, he still leads among women in the party, and by a wide margin (28% vs 17% for Sanders). His lead among black Democrats is even wider (40% vs 24% for Sanders).

These false narratives like "Biden has alienated women" are a symptom of the social bubble many young, educated, white progressives live in.
