      Well - I think that's it, though: he's running to the left of 2008 Obama, but that's just a campaign platform.

      The upside is that a lot of the bland centrist party line has become considerably more progressive than it was 12 years ago. Not for Biden's creativity, just the passage of time.

      I disagree? The centrist party line is, as ever, "let's work with our good friends, the Republicans", and the Republicans are now baldfaced Nazis

      Yeah, but that's equally substance-less. They were just subtler Nazis 12 years ago anyway, there was nothing else they wanted.

      Okay help me out because it's not clear to me what you mean?

      Compromising with the Republicans in 2009 wouldn't have different policy outcomes than in 2021. They're just going to reject any proposed compromises anyway.

      But the starting points here are a bit to the left. In part, it's that 2008 was a lot grimmer and longer ago than we remember. Obama '08 was officially against gay marriage, and for a much lower minimum wage.

      Looking back - Nader's 08 campaign - not even Obama's - was only advocating for a $10/hour minimum wage.

      Biden has no substantive policy opinions anyway, though. So it'll be very much about who he hires.

      In terms of healthcare policy, anyway, by definition Biden is running "to the left of Obama" because at a bare minimum he wants to preserve Obamacare and "expand" on it

      (One thing people misremember about 08 is Obama was always a centrist on healthcare, in the debates he explicitly took single-payer off the table, not because he thought Republicans would block him but because he didn't believe in it)

          Indeed, Hillary was the one who wanted to center healthcare as an issue, he didn't, and her plan was the one with the public option, which he always waffled on as possibly going too far

          The scuttlebutt was that putting healthcare at the top of the agenda was her demand in return for accepting the Secretary of State position and presenting a unified front against McCain
