Hes not right wing or near it. We cant have real conversations for change when people just go wild and say anyone slightly right of Bernie Sanders is LITERALLY Ted Cruz

I'm all for a bipartisan cabinet but these choices are just ... not great.

Also don't know much about Kasich, just remember that time at a debate where he aggressively corrected an attendee who pronounced his name wrong when asking a question.

If he wants to put a charter school advocate in the position, Marshall Tuck is the way to go. He actually has experience as an educator. He is a Democrat, though, so he wouldn't bring any partisan diversity, just ideological.

Ok so I'm an American communist. Do you think that Biden or any Democrat represents virtually any of my political views? If you support capitalism, you are right wing regardless of what country you reside in. Stop letting the ruling class control the narrative. It's how Obama was supposed to be the most progressive president ever while he was straight up telling everyone he would have been a moderate Republican in the 80's and that's exactly how he governed.

To your first question no, because there is a communist party in the US. Lol go vote for them. The Democrats are not politics. Also because someone is more right than you does not make them right wing. Youre saying Warren, AOC, and Sanders are right wing?

the question here is "who does he think he's appealing to with this?"

i guess it could be info that is being floated to bring in conservatives who aren't nazis that he can later just deny while appointing a cabinet consistent with the values of the vast majority of his voters

Yeah, Obama had Republicans in his administration(including James Comey...how did that go again?) and Joe Biden has never been shy about his affection for the Republican Party.
I mean, he literally did a campaign event for Michigan Republican Rep. Fred Upton in 2018. Somehow this didn't undermine his Resistance(TM) credentials at all.

They are certainly barely left of center, they are also consistently shit upon by the democratic party establishment which is firmly entrenched in center right politics. FFS the dems hold positions to the right of the fucking Tories.

Loaded question.

My response from my view: not all charter schools or systems are bad, but many suck funding from public schools and are run horribly. Some game the system by kicking out students who are of high needs and then the public schools student population are higher % of high needs kids.
