    Are people really getting mad at this accurate tweet?https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1483159619467980803 …

    The best way to understand Biden is not as a moderate or a liberal but as someone who, with a good deal of success, has always tried to position himself at the center of the Democratic Party. So as the Democratic Party has moved left, so has Biden.

        Lot of people confusing “hasn’t achieved X and Y” with “doesn’t even support X and Y”

        Except the Democratic party hasn't moved left, so it's wrong. Judge them by their results not what the 'progressive caucus' is saying.

        I think people are confused with the idea that Biden has in any meaningful way moved left

        How has the democratic party moved left? I don’t see it anywhere but in the culture war. When it comes to the class war they haven’t budged an inch

        I'd say the Democratic base has moved left along with many of the members but a sizable number of representatives and the corporate interests around them are working harder to prevent substantive change. And Biden must make gestures for things that won't happen.
