    I 100% agree with you and have been telling people this on here for over a fucking month since I registered. I get all these stupid arguments like "oh no, the liberals will finally radicalize! For real this time!" and "he isn't going to do anything, he'll make it worse by sitting there doing nothing".

    Biden is the main Democrat from the 90s besides Bill Clinton who was pushing all this stuff. He has been trying to gut social security since the 80s. Long before he wrote the 1994 crime bill, he pushed for other insane measures, like his attempt at a bill that would've pushed to sterilize recently paroled prisoners of drug offenses (a bill that was considered too extreme by Ronald Reagan of all people). This mother fucker used to brag that he was more right wing than the Republicans back in the 90s. He helped get Scalia and Thomas on SCOTUS and is proud of this stuff.

    Speaking of social security, his SS plan talks about "loop holes" and raising taxes on it. The "loop holes" are people with pre-existing medical conditions who will be the first ones he taxes. He isn't even waiting until after the election. All of this can be found in his platform policy points. There is some truth to the conservatives screaming that he's going to jack up taxes on everyone, cause it's in his plans. He's very open about all the austerity measures he wants to push.

    As for the stimulus, Biden's staff were the main ones back in the summer who tried to convince Trump to just pass tax credits at the expense of defunding SS or medicaid, and Trump almost went for it. THAT is what we are going to get for a stimulus.

    He is ABSOLUTELY going to accelerate us right to fascism, pedal to the metal, car slamming into the wall at 100 mph. And the right wing backlash to this is going to be so massive and insane, it will be unlike anything we have ever seen before.
