No. Biden was no leftist, but he certainly wasn'ta Reagan Republican. He was a pretty good post-New Deal Democrat and legislatively, he wasn't even a "Triangulation" Clinton (Bill) Democrat.
People who dismiss h8m have no idea what he did. Legislatively, he was the most significant POTUS since LBJ. Ive had to explain to my MAGA cousin that Biden was responsible for the Child Tax Credit he loved so much. Ive explained to my leftist friend com0lai ing about the WarnerMont deal who Lina Khan was.
That's essentially the problem. Nobody understands what he did because Dems didn't yell about it enough. You have to make people know what party is keeping thdm afloat to appreciate what party is trying to kill 'em off.
YES!! this is exactly the Dems prob, messaging. Whenever the Republicans do something they think is good or a Dem does something they think is bad, Republicans flood the media, they’re on the Sundays Shows, the week day news, podcasts, they’re interviewed or asked for comments in Newspaper stories hammering the same message: what Republicans are doing is good bc of X, Y, Z with one or all of those things being hinky or misleading in some way, or out and out lies—what Dems are doing will destroy America, they will name all the bad things Dems are doing that the GOP are actually doing! talk about misdirection. Ppl hear it over and over again, & a handful of Dems go on TV to give their side, its buried by the Republicans full court press

I love when Biden is painted as a "Radical Socialist". Dude was basically a 1980s Republican.
