Joe Biden’s First-Day-In-Office Plan Is A Betrayal Of Working-Class Americans
Biden's promises to the citizens of Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, El Salvador, and the rest of the world stand in stark contrast to what he plans to accomplish for the American worker on Day One, which is nothing.

Sunday marks 100 days until the 2020 election. That might come as a surprise to some Americans, who are so used to being neck-deep in conventions, speeches and rallies by now, without them they’d forgotten how close we were. The Republican convention is now cancelled, and for the past few months Joe Biden has barely been seen outside his home, dodging questions from even his sympathetic press pool.
The former vice president ran his primary campaign as a moderate. He refused to go along with the more radical proposals of his opponents, instead relying on his old centrist reputation and key endorsements to harness the black working-class voters he plans to combine with the white workers who sent Donald Trump to the White House.
Since then in his work to unite the modern Democratic Party, his direction has shifted hard to the left, earning praise from proud socialist Bernie Sander, who reiterated Wednesday, “The reason … I think Biden has a chance to be the most progressive president since FDR is that is exactly what Joe Biden said to me.â€
Still, just last week The New York Times’ David Brooks predicted day one of a Biden presidency would bring soothing quiet and an end to the divisive class hate his friends and colleagues have hurled down on powerless Americans for years. Joe, he assures the people who read David Brooks, will govern with “radical centrism†informed by his working-class sensibility. Pay no mind to the hard-left class-war argued by the advisers who are writing his policies and, given his rapid cognitive decline, will soon be helping him dress in the morning.
So who is more right, Bernie Sanders or David Brooks? Let’s see what Joe Biden says.
