For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only

▪️ Title must match the article headline

▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)

▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.

Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

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.
