We are sick of living in a country that's divided and we want unity. People need to compromise and end up somewhere in the middle. Whew--we really do need a break from Trump's divisive hollering and screaming. He needs to just shut up and go away. Let our country heal, as it will as soon as he's not there tearing it apart. Democrats are not going to pass any weird, scary stuff, so don't believe the lies. We just want one united country like we used to have.
If Biden is elected he will not be president for long, assuming he wins, and assuming he doesn't stroke out before taking office. The presidency will be handed over to H.U. Harris shortly after Biden takes office. Harris is a full bred radical.

Biden is a trojan horse for the radical left to take over.

Reallocate funding for the police to make them more efficient. Hes also clearly stated that this means increased police funding for better training for a bit.

And no, not amnesty-a path towards being a legal citizen, much like Reagan. Or is Reagan some raving communist lefty too?

Thats all very moderate
Nice try, but inefficiency is not why Biden said he wants to eliminate fossil fuels. He said he wants to eliminate them because they are bad for the environment. He is spouting New Green Deal garbage. That is not moderate.

An example of “moderate” would be incentives for electric cars or flex fuel cars, not eliminating gasoline engines.

Regarding policing, Biden is certainly more progressive than he was 20 years ago.

“But 18 years after pushing for more officers in the streets, Biden appears open to more progressive ideas. In a July 8 NowThis News interview with activist Ady Barkan, Biden said he was "absolutely" open to reallocating funds from police departments to overhaul the criminal justice system. "One of the things that we also need to be doing is fundamentally changing the way we deal with our prison system. It should be a rehabilitation system, not a punishment system. We're going to make sure you're qualified for every single right you had before you went to prison if you served your time," he said.”

At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter. We will celebrate another 4 years of winning and look forward to Pence/Trump 2024.

Sooo...your example....is basically what he is doing. This nonsense about him banning things? His goal is to be 100% by....2050. But sure, somehow in your world his plan is to do it before the end of his term....got it. LOL.

Cool...soooo 18 years ago Trump wrote a book called "The America we deserve" where he straight up said "We must have universal healthcare". So in your reality thats Trump today as well?

A deal that he 100% supported. Let me quote him:
"I believe in the idea of amnesty for those who have put down roots and lived here, even though sometime back they may have entered illegally,"

And Trump said we'd have government-run health care for everyone and that the national debt would be eliminated within his first four years. You do realize that 98% of stuff they say doesn't come true, right?

Not just by 2050, by 2035 for some aspects.

This is what Biden said at the last debate:

“But the point is, we have to move toward a net zero emissions. The first place to do that by the year 2035 is in energy production. By 2050: Totally.”

Yes, Trump used to be more liberal. Biden **used to be** more moderate. People evolve; I get that. Biden is now pandering to the liberal wing of the Democratic Party.

He might have been more moderate at some point but he is not now.
