Do you dislike him because he's a leftist or because you're a leftist?


(username is relevant here)


The latter


This is getting way off topic, but Biden is a centrist. The idea that he’s a lefty socialist is a political cudgel the right wing has swung at every Democratic prez candidate since 1988; it’s getting more traction in recent years as the media has been increasingly purchased by right wing billionaires. They called Obama a socialist even as he was praising Reagan and helping out the bankers who caused the 2008 economic meltdown.

Everything I’m saying here is a documented. Biden has been in public service since 1973; look up his Senate voting record. Look up the ownership and political stances thereof for any given traditional media outlet; newspapers, websites, etc.

“Biden is a lefty” is a false, lazy canard.



That is correct.
