 Hey, is anyone else super irritated at how far left Joe Biden is? I mean, he's essentially a communist at this point, right? Look, I don't understand DC discourse. I think that everyone who's in DC, to at least a certain extent, has brain rot. Because over the course of the last two, maybe three days, we've had two different prominent reporters complain about how far to the left Biden is. Now, of course, zero examples here, but it happened when Peter Ducey asked Biden himself why he's so far left. And then Morning Joe or Joe Scarborough, host of Morning Joe. We can call him Morning Joe or Moronic Joe. I prefer Moronic Joe. But anyways, Joe Scarborough asked Ron Klain why Joe Biden is so far to the left, and if him being such a huge lefty is what's turning off folks like Kirsten Sinema and Joe Manchin. But then Joe Scarborough will contradict himself. So I don't understand why they continue to say this, because if you think this is correct, then you're an idiot. But I think that most people have to at least acknowledge that this is so disingenuous, so wrong that it's laughable. But here we are where we have individuals asking this question with a straight face. So first, let's look at the clip with Peter Ducey and see how Joe Biden responds. Why are you trying so hard in your first year to pull the country so far to the left? Well, I'm not. I don't know what you consider to be too far to the left, if in fact we're talking about making sure that we had the money for COVID, making sure we had the money to put together the bipartisan infrastructure, making sure we were able to provide for those things that in fact would significantly reduce the burden on working class people, but make them have to continue to work hard. I don't know how that is pointed to the left. If you may recall, you guys have been trying to convince me that I am Bernie Sanders. I'm not. I like him, but I'm not Bernie Sanders. I'm not a socialist. I'm a mainstream Democrat, and I have been. And mainstream Democrats have overwhelmed me. If you notice, the 48 of the 50 Democrats supported me in the Senate. I'm virtually everything I've asked. So first and foremost, Joe, keep Bernie's name out of your mouth. Second of all, I think that his response to just laugh, that's the only response that you can have. Because these right-wingers who try to claim that Joe Biden is a far leftist and he's trying to move the country to the left, I don't even think it's worth entertaining. It's so stupid. And we don't have to entertain it because there's no substance there. As you'll see with the Joe Scarborough clip, same as the case with the Peter Ducey clip, they don't provide any examples as to why Joe Biden is a far leftist. Perhaps over the last couple of decades, you can argue that the Democratic Party has shifted left on social issues. But with regard to the actual left in America, they are nowhere near representative of what we want. I would know as a leftist. But let's get to the Joe Scarborough clip because he should know better. I mean, he's still a conservative, but in some ways he should know better. But look at what he says here and try to keep it together because watching this almost made my head explode. So it may be the former Republican to be asking this question, but I look at Joe Biden and I see a guy that was elected as the one moderate standing up on the debate stage while others were promising to return America to busing and to give free healthcare to illegal immigrants. President Biden struck a moderate tone. You should look at Eric Adams up in New York, the same thing. The moderation is selling in the Democratic Party. So why is it that it seems time and time again the president is overreached, moved too far left and has not been able to bring those final two senators home? Well, first of all, I think the president is right in the middle of where the country is. You look at what's in our Build Back Better Plan. Bringing down the cost of childcare. I think that's a very moderate thing for families. Reducing the cost of prescription drugs saying you shouldn't have to pay more than 35 bucks for insulin. I think that's an all-American mainstream proposal. Are you all going to split that up? Because you're right, every one of those bills would be really hard for Republicans to oppose. So are you all considering this next year splitting that up? I have to say to the former Republican in you, somehow Republicans are opposing them. It's just shocking to me that this guy gets paid millions of dollars every single year to do political commentary and he's that clueless. He's that uninformed. I don't know if he is dishonest or disingenuous. It is batshit fucking insane. And if you're going to claim that, at least substantiated with a single piece of anecdotal evidence, but he has nothing. He just says it and expects it to be, you know, a fact. But that doesn't make it a fact. And first of all, he says, moderation is selling in the Democratic Party. No, moderation is not selling in the Democratic Party as much as you think it is. Certainly there are moderates in the Democratic Party, but what really sells in the Democratic Party is fear mongering. Joe Biden essentially was elected by Democrats because he was told by individuals like you, Joe Scarborough, that he was the most electable. But when you look at exit polls from the 2020 Democratic Party primary, voters by and large sided with Bernie Sanders. They supported Medicare for all, but they go with Democrats who they think are the safest bet against Donald Trump because you scared them into thinking that socialism bad being far left bad and that's why they vote the way that they do. But he says here that, you know, perhaps the reason why mansion and cinema aren't on board with Biden's agenda is because he's too far to the left. First of all, to say that while not even mentioning the elephant in the room, that is their corporate donors. I mean, this is political malpractice. You should not be a political commentator if you don't point this out. Second of all, you can't just keep saying that Biden is far left without providing us with any evidence. And I said that and it's a little bit redundant. I'll probably keep saying that, but it's important, right? I have evidence to the contrary. I have evidence, at least anecdotes that suggest he shifted to the right since he's been in office. And I say this because he campaigned on cancelling $10,000 worth of student debt. He hasn't done that yet. He campaigned not on Medicare for all, but on a public option. And we've heard nothing about any sort of healthcare reform to say that Joe Biden has shifted to the left. It's laughable. Now notice how Joe contradicted himself here. So Ron Klain pointed out specific provisions within Build Back Better, which are good, albeit still incremental, but good nonetheless. And then Joe Scarborough said, well, it'd be hard for Republicans to oppose these things. Wait, oppose the policies that the president supports that you claim are far left? So by your own standards, wouldn't the Republicans who go along with this because they just can't reject this, wouldn't they be far left? I mean, I just, I don't understand the criteria that he uses to gauge the ideologies of lawmakers. I don't know. There's no metric that he's using. He's just saying things, even if they are patently false. But because Joe Scarborough has DC brain rot, he can't even fathom the idea that something as incremental as a Medicare expansion or just marginal improvements, means tested policies wouldn't be too far left. Anything that's just not right is too far left to Joe Scarborough. But I've got news for him. Even something that he would deem far left like Medicare for All, that's not actually, functionally, a far left policy. I would actually argue that Medicare for All is the compromise because we're not doing away with private hospitals. We're just basically having the government be the single pair. But the reason why even something like Medicare for All isn't far left is because every other developed country has their own version of some sort of a universal healthcare system. So would Joe Scarborough maintain that the conservative party in Canada and the Tories in the UK are too far left because they at least rhetorically support their versions of universal healthcare? Would he say that? He'd look like a fool if he did say that. But he wouldn't say that. It's because the Overton window in the United States is so far to the right that anything that isn't right wing just looks far left. See, the actual problem is not that people in America are too far left. It's that we're so far to the right that common sense policies like Medicare for All that save lives are viewed as extreme. And when we have Republican voters storming the capital and elected GOP officials antagonizing toward a civil war and state GOP officials passing policies that give them the power to subvert the will of voters, you're detached from reality if your concern is the far left in this country. Your concern should be the far right in this country. But because Joe Scarborough has a broken brain, he thinks that it's the far left that's the issue. No more on it's the far right that's the issue. I mean, to even for a second be concerned with the far left or that our neoliberal conservative president is too far left. It just goes to show you how skewed to the right American politics is. Now, to be clear, I do believe that it's changing. I think that the rise of progressives like Bernie Sanders and the squad that is changing things. It's making a difference, right? But still the way that pundits in DC talk about these things is very frustrating to me because he's so uninformed to think that Joe Biden of all fucking presidents is too far left is just absurd to me. And everyone should absolutely make fun of him for this dumbass fucking take. I'm sorry, but it's just it's that bad. You're a political commentator, Joe. Do better for fuck's sake.
