“Joe Biden has the most progressive policies of the last decade” - incredible.

I can think of zero politicians with a further left policy platform than Joe Biden. Think of all his progressive moves, like allowing the overturn of roe vs wade, Joe Biden who railed against school racial integration policies, Joe Biden author of the 94 crime bill, Joe Biden who continued building the wall, pro union Joe Biden who compelled the train unions to accept the companies deal. Joe Biden who lends his support both materially and in influence to right wing governments in Ukraine and Israel, supporting genocide in the latter. Etc etc. A real hero of the people this guy, fly out the red flag.

Voters did this by not voting lesser evil

Joe Biden who railed against school racial integration policies, Joe Biden author of the 94 crime bill,

This was not part of his presidential administration and not my claim.

pro union Joe Biden who compelled the train unions to accept the companies deal

And went back and got sick days for the union after the deal was signed. Only president to march with the union.

Biden who lends his support both materially and in influence to right wing governments in Ukraine and Israel, supporting genocide in the latter. Etc etc. A real hero of the people this guy, fly out the red flag.

I never made the claim he wasn't a neoliberal. I only cited the fact that he was the most progressive president we've seen in the country for as long as I've been alive.
