Biden isn't a moderate. He just always positions himself as a moderate.
lol k
Did you even read what I wrote? I said Biden positions himself where his party is. Meaning that he took some outright conservative positions during the 70s through 90s while he now takes increasingly liberal positions, just as his party is lurching ever more to the left since at least 2012.

You literally within two sentences say that Biden is not a moderate, then say he positions himself in the middle. Are you even listening to yourself?
I did not say that he positions himself in the middle of the ideological spectrum, or in the middle of the American electorate - I said that he positions himself in the middle
of his party. And his party is no longer moderate, it has moved significantly to the left on every major issue over the past decade or so, in many cases dramatically. A Democratic politician who's saying the same things about race, gender, migration or economic policies as Obama did in 08 would be considered a racist sexist xenophobic transphobic capitalist pig by the party's present-day base.
