What is Hard Left about the Biden/Harris Agenda? In a Word Nothing

It is very amusing (and nauseating) that some news accounts portray Republicans as reasonable people that want to work with President Joe Biden but his Chief of Staff, Ron Klain, Speaker Nancy Pelosi. and Senator Chuck Schumer are leading him down the path to a hard-left agenda.

Realizing that Biden is very popular (especially compared to them and the former Chief Executive Demagogue they worship, even as a Golden statue-and I thought the Republican Evangelicals believed idolatry was a sin,) Republicans have tried to imply that the President is weak and not in charge.

That is rich considering Republican legislators and White House staffers steered mostly policy inept Presidents like Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump in their two Administrations.

Do not be fooled by this deceptive and duplicitous strategy from the members of the former Party of Lincoln.

The Biden/Harris team and their allies in Congress, having learned the lessons of Republican obstructionism in Democratic Presidential Administrations (Clinton and Obama) past, have decided not to play their legislative game anymore.

Good.

As to the assertion that the Biden/Harris is hard left, ask the following questions:

  • How is raising people's wages a hard-left agenda?
  • How is making sure everyone is vaccinated from the COVID 19 agenda a hard-left agenda?
  • How is helping people stay in their homes a hard-left agenda?
  • How is assisting people to make sure they have food on the table a hard-left agenda?
  • How is working to safely reopen schools a hard-let agenda?
  • How is helping state and local governments keep cops, firefighters, and teachers on the payroll a hard-left agenda?
  • How is reducing poverty and creating job opportunities a hard-left agenda?
  • How is modernizing roads, bridges, the electric grid, railways, airlines, and broadband a hard-left agenda?
  • How is fixing the broken immigration system a hard-left agenda?
  • How is combatting climate change and making sure the air we breathe, the water we drink, the ground we walk on, and the energy we use is clean a hard-left agenda?

What is hard-left about the Biden/Harris Agenda? In a word, nothing.

So when a Republican operative in Arizona, Washington D.C., or across the country says the Biden/Harris is moving the country to the hard-left, ask them what are their plans to steer the country forward and do the hard work to make it happen.

Otherwise, they should shut up and get out of the way (and political office) for the people who want to make the United States better for everyone.
