While you represent the Republican's agenda accurately, you misrepresent that of the Democratic Party. I won't go through the laundry list here as your readers/listeners will call me a Commie or a Russian bot for thinking critically, but the reason Trump can get away with his authoritarian and racist mobilization of supporters is largely the failure of the Democratic Party to make people whole and to follow through on their promises. And when they do follow through, it's half measures and means-tested programs that do not achieve their stated objectives. As we speak Biden has appointed an anti-Social Security Republican to a key seat on the Social Security advisory board, and he has increased Medicare Advantage premiums to private insurers, laundering seniors Social Security money through the government to enrich the health care conglomerates. This is a microcosm of the Democratic Party corporate allegiance and poor judgment that has put us all in a compromising position. Should me assertions be doubted, take a look at the election in France and the 89 seats won by a candidate to the right of Trump. Austerity and neoliberalism are the cause, fascism and xenophobia the symptoms that become malignant in the current "better than Trump at least Biden doesn't Tweet" relativistic echo chamber quagmire we have become paralyzed by.
I like Biden as a person, but politically, sometimes I wonder if, following Trump's example using the term RINO, we should think of him as a DINO? Yes, brings up the image of dinosaur, I know.
I feel for Biden, I feel the Democratic Party put him in an untenable situation. He is not functionally fit to be president, so as a human being I do have empathy for his position. That being said, in any other industrialized nation he would be a center-right politician, and interestingly in Germany for example Bernie Sanders would be center-left. Our axis has shifted so far to the right that Democrats are not recognizable to me as Democrats anymore.
