    ???

    Biden is a moderate, as is the overwhelming majority of democratic members of Congress in both the house and the senate lol what are you on about.

    If you mean moderate Republicans are unrepresented, then yes, but you have Republicans to blame for that by their refusal to stop supporting extremists.

      I think of “Moderate” as a slightly right-wing position. I think Biden is mostly a Liberal, maybe even a Social Liberal. I agree a lot of Democrats are Moderates.

      Nah I won’t blame voters for not being able to get a great result out of this system. We have so little power at the moment.

        Biden is literally a conservative by most non-American standards. Even in the US, he’s still significantly more conservative than moderate left-leaning people here.

          But I want to use the labels in less of a comparative and relative way. Match the policies to the political ideology.
