    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.
