 Joe Biden’s Platform Illustrates The Breakneck Speed Democrats Are Lurching Left
September 12, 2019 By Emily Jashinsky

Joe Biden’s billing as the moderate-in-residence of the Democratic primary is a telling statement on the breakneck speed at which the party is radicalizing. His platform offers proof.

A Tuesday report in McClatchy compared Biden’s 2020 platform to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 platform, finding the former vice president’s policy prescriptions have drifted leftward from the former secretary of state’s. “From health care to climate change to criminal justice, Biden has proposed ideas more ambitious and liberal than policies supported by Hillary Clinton in the 2016 campaign,” the article declared. It even went so far as to correctly note that “Biden’s current set of policy prescriptions would likely be considered radical if they had been proposed in any previous Democratic presidential primary.”

Examples include his health care plan, his climate change plan, his criminal justice reform plan, and his position on the death penalty.

I think Biden's implosion is inevitable, it's just a question of when (maybe tonight even?)  When it does happen it will leave a huge opening for an alternative pretend-moderate candidate to jump into. Yet none of them seem interested in capitalizing on the opportunity except maybe the hopeless Bullock. They'd all rather compete with Warren and Sanders on territory those two already have locked up tight.
