Yerp, it just reinforces him looking inflexible and old, committed more to some personal fantasy than what's actually best for the country in reality.
Did you listen to what he said tho? When it was coherent it was a great platform policy wise.
He's old. We get it. No one cares...the policy is still better than trump
A politician claiming they support a policy means nothing in modern politics, it only matters what they actually deliver and fight for. Biden is too corporate to do anything but waste everyone's time. He adopted progressive policy points in 2020 because he was up against Sanders but then more or less abandoned those policies after they either got shot down by his party or were employed as temporary emergency measures (ex. Child tax credit).
Much of Biden's left appearing policy is just a thin cover for pork barrel spending, and worse he will deliver these little bits here and there that provide nothing to build on and then pat himself on the back and sit back on his laurels like he did more than the barest of minimums.
I'm just not impressed with his actual policy achievments or goals, when you strip away all the big rhetoric there really isn't that much there. Biden's not a fighter and he gives the impression he doesn't believe in any of the stuff he tepidly pushes for, he just figures he can't only give gandouts to corporations or it becomes to obvious what he's there to do.
