And if you didn't revel in your political ignorance, you would, too.
He used AOC's GND as the baseline for his environmental policy. Do you think AOC is a moderate? Keep in mind that Biden has proposed establishing an Environmental and Climate Justice Division within the U.S. Department of Justice. Does that sound moderate to you? Because "Climate Justice" is the junk jargon spouted by far-left radicals. Oh, and bear in mind that his clean energy investments have a lot of strings attached including diversity hire requirements, paid leave, and union support. Does that sound moderate to you?
He's far further to the left than Bernie on guns, a fact that Bernie Sanders openly criticized him for. Think about that for a second. He's so far to the left on the issue that Bernie is like, "Whoa, take a step back there, fella!"
You know what? Fuck it, I'll just repost what I said before:
Well, let's evaluate some of his policies, shall we?
He's currently pushing a race-oriented home ownership program. (It's worth noting that attempts to boost home ownership rates were an underlying factor in the 2008 housing crisis.)
Supports a coal ban and one with a more aggressive timeline than many European nations, as well as seeking to right "environmental justice" wrongs (sounds more like AOC than Biden)
His clean energy investments have a lot of strings attached including diversity hire requirements, paid leave, and union support.
Goes far further than Bernie Sanders on gun issues, resolving to ensure gun-makers will be held accountable for deaths caused by guns (similar to what Hillary promised). Actually, going over his gun agenda, he's surprisingly very radical on this issue (whereas a lot of the stuff on his site more uses radical rhetoric but, at surface value, doesn't go as far as other candidates; this section is massive and goes into some draconian shit).
This section notes his commitment to more than double the federal minimum wage, which is a highly radical position considering the vast disparities between states where many can't afford that kind of a leap.
Universal community college, increased loan forgiveness, and even more loans. And he has a radical loan payment and forgiveness program that will shift costs onto taxpayers instead of controlling costs at colleges.
Establish an Environmental and Climate Justice Division within the U.S. Department of Justice.
...you know, just by looking at Biden's own statements, I'm kinda starting to see some justification for those radical claims. He *seemed* more moderate during the debates.
