The leftstream media characterization of Joe Biden is that he is moderate, likable, and the most electable Democrat candidate. He is affable Uncle Joe, the self-made lunchbox-toting common man of the people.
In truth, he is none of the above.
Joe the Moderate
The "Biden as moderate" canard is getting increasingly hard to defend. On the economy-, car-, and cow-killing $93-trillion Green New Deal, Biden was asked if it goes too far or is unrealistically promising too much.
He answered, "No, no it's not."
When previously asked if there would be any place for fossil fuels, including coal and fracking, in his administration, Biden answered, "No...we would make sure it's eliminated, and no more subsidies for either one of those, period."
Green New Deal? Two thumbs up. Fossil fuels? Fracking and coal? Kill them. How he would eliminate them is one of history's great mysteries.
Not content to destroy the economy, Biden has embraced the full gamut of abortion radicalism, to include flipping to oppose the Hyde Amendment, which forbids taxpayer funds to pay for most abortions. This is the amendment that pro-abortion Democrats traditionally use to hide their radicalism, but Biden threw off even that fig leaf.
He said, "I can't justify leaving millions of women without the health care they need. If I believe health care is a right, as I do, I can no longer support [the amendment]."
The death-cult pro-abortion groups love Biden because they know he is fully committed to their hellish agenda.
On border security, Biden's position is indistinguishable from those of the other radicals in the party. His hand went up when asked if he is in favor of decriminalizing border security and providing taxpayer-funded health care to non-citizens.
When asked about immigration detention centers, he answered, "Close them down!

Look at the articles in the mainstream media. They are throwing Biden under the bus — their choice for now is Warren.
Biden sucks, but we shouldn’t be applauding his downfall in the primaries. In my opinion Biden is the easiest candidate to beat, and so would rather Biden win the primary.
Good summary of the career of mendacious Joe.

Operation Khaos going into effect?
” He is affable Uncle Joe”
Yeah, I had an uncle like him and I’m still damaged by it.
Like him or not Michael Moore said it all about both Hillary and Biden.
The left will vote lockstep for Pedo Joe.
That tells you everything you’ll ever need to know about liberals.
He is only a moderate in the sense that the rest of his party has rocketed towards the Left.
RE: He is only a moderate in the sense that the rest of his party has rocketed towards the Left.
The moderates in the party (e.g. Tulsi Gabbard, John Delaney ) have been marginalized. Slow Joe is running on his name recognition and has to go to the extreme left to garner and consolidate the left wing of his party. I don’t think he’s convincing them about his bona fides though.
He’s NOT going to be the nominee.
If I were a betting man, I would say this is Pocahontas’ race to lose.
In September of 2015 I'm sure there were stories about the electability myth of Donald Trump.
I could use a citation on Tulsi being a moderate.
RE: I could use a citation on Tulsi being a moderate.
I should have used the term “relatively’ TO QUALIFY the word moderate when it comes to her.
For one, she does not support partial birth abortions. However, she does support a “Woman’s right to choose” up to a certain date.
She is not for Medicare for All, but Medicare for Some ( whatever that means ).
The trick is for the DNC to not figure this out in time.
Even if I never heard where Biden stands on the issues, I would call him unelectable for these reasons:
1. The endless gaffes.
2. His reputation for plagiarism.
3. Those creepy pictures of him touching girls.
4. He ran twice for president and lost already.
5. And most of all — he’s too old, and the voters are tired of career politicians like him.
Same here. Never would have imagined it just a few months ago. I mean, she takes the "nails on chalkboard" to at least two levels higher than even Hillary.
But through process of elimination, she's the only one likely to be standing. Kamala Harris and Cory Booker not catching fire at all. Buttgieg is fading fast. Biden is becoming a laughingstock. Beto will never get over 2%, especially after that "we are coming for your guns" comment. Bernie does not have nearly the level of excitement that surrounded his 2016 campaign and he's coming across as "angry old man." The others left in the race are barely registering.
I detest the woman but I have to observe that Pocahantas is drawing the bigger crowds these days among the Democrats. I don't see this level of enthusiasm with any other of the Democrat candidates.
Several debates into the cycle and all these Democrats are utterly crazy off their rockers. Warren just so happens to be the least crazy one of the bunch.
Vote for XXXXXXX. He/She is all we've got.
I can’t believe the young radical socialists will stand by and allow confused Joe to win the nomination. I think they are actively trying to undermine him as we speak.
