    You did say he was more to the right on some issues. And then promptly didn’t give any examples. Not super helpful when we could see if his position on those stances had changed since 2008 (considering it’s been 16 years since…)

      I mean in his senate years he was a small government, tough on crime, etc etc senator not unlike pre-Trump republicans. There’s a Wikipedia page titled (I think) “Biden’s political history” for more details.

      The thing about POTUS is that the office’s ability to do… Well, most things is limited. He’s said about a lot of things “yeah I don’t believe this anymore”, but then he went full Republican on the border when he felt it would get him more votes (which I don’t think it did, but that aside) so you can’t really judge his position on, say, police brutality or the war on drugs.
