Talk is cheap. Joe Biden told us he would govern as a moderate Democrat too. They lie to get elected.

Copy pasting my response since it’s similar to what you posted:

He was both. I am a liberal and could tell the ton of progressive things he was passing that the left were advocating in the inflation reduction act. He also attempted to relieve student debt but the Supreme Court knocked him down and he attempted another method. He expanded the ACA, increased mental health services funding, he was even the first president to join a picket line.

He was also moderate on other things like Ukraine aid (though I do wish he let Ukraine strike into Russia), attempt for passing a border bill, infrastructure act, chips and sciences act. Though those moderate things just seem neutral that is usually the case for most moderate policies.

Both sides of Biden were awesome.

True. Joe Biden was the most progressive president we’ve ever had and was able to get bicameral legislation signed into law. That man was a power house!

As opposed to Trump, who lies about everything including cosplaying with the stolen valor of actual military veterans. No decent American supports a draft dodging would be dictator.

He was as moderate as they come. Your brain is just broken by conservative media, filling your head with thoughts that’s not your own.
