Probably among the leaders in bipartisan legislation in his career.
Does that make him the stuff of a good POTUS?
No, of course not.
But it does make him less of a blind adherent to one view as you have been claiming.
I was certain I would be voting for a third or fourth party again this year. But Trump is that dangerous.
It only takes analytical blindness to convince yourself that Biden doesn't have highly socialistic tendencies. Don't get into WHATABOUTISM here either, I don't excuse Trump or the Republican Party's atrocious progressive tendencies either, but that's another story.
So what is "middle of the road politics", but an unprincipled approach to issues, all it take is a man that has no rudder.
Whenever I hear the phrase "bipartisan consensus", I immediately know its going to be stupid and evil.
Biden has always been an advocate of top-down central planning, a hallmark of communism and fascism. In other words he has never been a supporter of a free market where consumers are sovereign. (See Obamacare for instance or any of the other government interventions into the marketplace that Biden has supported)
See his current "BUILD BACK BETTER" plans, it's full of authoritarian language that only a commie would enjoy.
Everything is "Mobilize American" this and "Mobilize the American people" to do that.
He clearly believes that society in general needs to be regimented by smart people in government because the proles are morons and need to led, and producers are incompetent and need to be told what to make and how and where to make it.
To be necessarily brainwashed into believing this garbage, you need not know that the most economic troubles were caused by previous government interventions into the economy in the past.
"Mobilize American manufacturing and innovation to ensure that the future is made in America, and in all of America."That's the old isolationist commie view that an economy can be purely built and maintained within a nations borders under the direction of government central planners. I guess trade, comparative advantage among producers, and the wants and needs of consumers are secondary or even unnecessary factors when authoritarian gubment economics is calling the shots. Yep, Joe's got a
"plan to build a strong industrial base and small-business-led supply chains to retain and create millions of good-paying union jobs in manufacturing and technology across the country". Hallelujah! Comrade Joe has yet another new set of commie plans to replace the market economy, yet it all smells suspiciously the same as old failed commie plans to replace the market economy with a collectivist economy.
Mobilize American ingenuity to build a modern infrastructure and an equitable, clean energy future."that means investing in a modern, sustainable infrastructure and sustainable engines of growth — from roads and bridges, to energy grids and schools, to universal broadband." God Almighty! How did we ever get along without gubment "investing" stolen loot for our own good? Obviously we peons are unable to know what we need and want and the private sector doesn't know how to capitalize on it and provide it to us without those holy central planners regimenting the economy and barker orders.
And don't forget the "climate crisis", the one that doesn't exist, the one that is just another excuse to further pick your pocket and make you poorer and the socialist oligarchs richer.
Frank, there's so much more to Comrade Joe's plans to "Mobilize America", do I really need to go on? Please say no Frank, just reading anymore of this socialist tripe is unbearable. Geez! It even makes Trump look even less dangerous by comparison.
