To be fair, all this record shows is that Biden always tried to
pander adjust to the mainstream of the Democratic party at the respective time. In 92, after almost 2 decades of asswhoopin at the hands of Republicans in presidential elections, the whole party shifted very far to the center. This is the time the infamous crime bill and the Clinton welfare cuts to single moms and all this stuff was passed.
Similarly, nowadays, after Democrats have shifted to the left a ton, he has also adopted far more liberal stances on almost all issues.
So I would say a fair assessment is that this record doesnt prove Biden to be a reactionary fossil, it proves him to be an
opportunistic unideological career politician.
