    Appreciate your write-up, but at present, Biden is still closer to a progressive liberal. Trump is a fascist though…

      Biden personally championed laws in Congress to fund and arm the Israeli colonial army, to increase imprisonment of black people, to make such imprisonment worse and longer, and to increase the power and impunity of police. He increased the number of migrants imprisoned, increased the use of solitary confinement (torture) for asylum seekers, and oversaw a continuing degradation of life expectancy, quality of life, and labor power in the USA. He continues to use threaten war, including nuclear war, on chosen geopolitical rivals.

      The “liberal progressive” you mention is an aesthetic, it’s not a material reality.
