    But I should only pay attention to what a politician doing NOW, not what they’ve done in the past.

    Yes. Now as in current term of office. Not 50 years ago. Biden’s rejected of forced busing 50 years ago does not have the slightest relevance to anything he does as president. Do you not understand how much political climates change in a huge way over 1/2 of a century?

    and I didn’t even get to his support for the Iraq War

    You mean when Biden was one of the very few senators who voted against the first Iraq was in 1993?

    but I can’t judge them based on what they’ve done in the past

    If you are complaining about something Biden did in the 1970’s, it’s just because you are on some ridiculous anti-Biden kick. Everybody knows it doesn’t have the slightest relevance to his presidential terms.

    Explain how the hell your philosophy of ignoring what a candidate says and watching what they do while ignoring what they’ve done makes any kind of sense.

    Watch what Biden has done as president. He’s been the most progressive president since FDR. Pretty simple.

      OK, you’re very clearly just avoiding all the things I say that you don’t want to hear, and honestly, this feels like I’m just punching down now, so I’m just gonna stop. Good luck buddy.

        OK, you’re very clearly just avoiding that I said Biden was the most progressive president of the last 50 years, and not the most progressive senator. Good luck guy.
