It's like calling Sweden and Denmark "radical left"

He is no moderate, he’s blowing with the wind, especially if the wind is progressive.

Biden WAS a moderate centrist. Now he's gone way very far to the left.

But, imo, it won't matter what he is labeled because (again, this is my opinion), if he is elected, he won't be making the decisions -- someone else will.

Have you realized yet that Trump exaggerates absolutely everything?

Do you think any socialists actually consider Biden one of them?

Before this election it would sound stupid to say Biden was radical left

and it still does.

Even Bernie Sanders is actually more representative of a Scandinavian "Social Democrat" mixed economy
than to a actual socialism where all industry is nationalized and there are no private companies

Half the country is Republican and there is the House and Congress to contend with.
Even if a president had some hardcore socialist policy they couldn't get it passed
and Biden if far from it. Let's stop the hyperbole people are tired of the whiplash

You seem to be a little slow on the uptake, Sport. Let me help. When you cast your vote on November 3, you're not voting for Biden. You're voting for the sh*t show that is the Democratic party. Biden's positions mean nothing. He's just doing whatever his handlers are telling him to, which is, for now, to not stray too far left of center. Dems know they have no chance of winning with a full blown radical left platform, so they're using ol' Sleepy/Creepy as a diversion. You can bet that will change on November 4th. The Dems are counting on voters to be too stupid to realize that Biden is simply a useful idiot. Nobody with an operating brain actually believes Biden will be President for any length of time. I suspect the Dems will use his obvious dementia to replace him with Harris. Failing that, let's hope he doesn't succumb to "Suicide by Clinton", the time honored method used by Democrats to deal with people who refuse to be team players.

The constitutions?

Maybe you should go back to school and take a civics class. In order to amend the constitution you need 2/3 of both houses of Congress to agree, and then 3/4 of the states have to ratify it. The President really has no role in it.

Can you name one of Biden’s positions that is “very far to the left”?

Pray tell: who are these "handlers", and these "someone else"?

Take your pick. https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2020-53575474

- A $30 BILLION investment fund for to create business support for minorities

- A $20 BILLION grant program to address incarceration reduction efforts (Actually, I support that, but I think $20 BILLION is ridiculous)

- FREE Universal preschool (I actually do support an income based plan, however, with it being free only to the most impoverished.)

- Student loan debt forgiveness

I do support SOME of his platform, but definitely not the above, and I particularly don't like the idea of him withdrawing "Trump era" tax cuts. That is the only government action that has directly benefited my husband and me since at least 2012. (And, btw, we are definitely NOT wealthy.)

With Biden we will be heading towards more solar power. I think that's a good thing because fossil fuels pollute, they run out but we can still use some if and when we need it. Clean air would be a good thing.

I'm not in favor of illegal immigrants but Reagan was a Republican who granted AMNESTY to them!

Many of today's Republicans have drifted way too far to the right. They talk about crazy conspiracies like someone is going to implant chips into their bodies and they talk about Qnon or whatever it is. Most people, both Repubs and Dems have no idea what that Qnon ?? thing is and most people have no idea of what Antifa is either. These are not things we believe in or even know about. Proud Boys? That's what Repubs want? I will not accuse you of that but don't accuse us of Antifa or riots because that's fringe stuff that people only hear about on the news.
