    Thats the point, Biden and Co are very much right wing. People that are on the actual left do not vote for right wing politicians

      They’re centrist. They’re only right wing compared to you, for whom 99% of the world is “right wing”.

        They’re right-wing according to the rest of the world. Bernie fucking Sanders was a centrist according to the rest of the world. It’s only US voters that think their party is on the left

          Bernie fucking Sanders was a centrist according to the rest of the world.

          Just utterly and completely wrong, Bernie would be firmly within the populist/socialist left of Europe, and probably the rest of the world too.

            The socialist left of Europe wants a UBI, forced dismantlement of megacorps in favour of cooperatives, harsh wealth taxes on net worth, separation of investment and commercial banking and so on. In comparison, Bernie wants a functional public healthcare system, and US oligarchs to pay at least some taxes.
