Yes I disagree with all of it if he can't tell me how to pay for it. Otherwise it's just a child telling you their hopes and dreams.Most of them… but you asked the wrong question. The moderate nature lies in the agendas he didn’t push.
Do you disagree with:
Better mental healthcare
Opioid epidemic battle
Repairing police/community relations
Funding police
Going after pandemic relief fraud
Funding cancer research
Improving infrastructure
Transparency in election funding
Etc?
None of those things are “far left” agendas.
I’m not naive, I have zero faith in our legislature to get anything meaningful done, but that wasn’t the question. The question was about what he said.
I agree with all of that but he gave little to no specifics as to how he was going to accomplish it.Most of them… but you asked the wrong question. The moderate nature lies in the agendas he didn’t push.

“Unified” and “moderate” are terms that belong in the same sentence as “Biden” to the same degree that “empathetic” and “gentle” belong in the same sentence as “Hitler”Sure.
Biden was my least favorite candidate on the primary ticket, and remains so. I liked the “Uncle Joe” of 20 years ago just moderately. He’s a lifetime politician, I tend not to like them inherently.
With that said, his speech wasn’t bad. He’s a meat and potato’s democrat, a true moderate and continues to push moderate issues. I think that’s a good idea right now. The divisions in this country, the political stalemates, require trying to find at least some common ground to try to push forward on progress. It was smart to mention securing the border and to flip the tone on “defund the police.” There was little mentioned that republicans could wholeheartedly disagree with unless they’re playing the partisan/contrarian roll. I liked the “United” tone. I liked the idea of capping insulin costs. I like the idea of international/universal corporate tax rates. Much of the rest were talking points that I don’t have much faith in passing without bipartisan bastardization.
He’s hard to listen to because he’s old and he stammers, but at least he’s a fairly relatable as a public speaker.
That’s all I got lol
Yes. And it's confusing to me how anyone who is rationale can see it any different. You have to have a plan to pay for it. Don't even get me started on his plan to attack every American who wants to retire. It's like democrats don't know how 401K's work.You don’t disagree with the principle… I get it, your soul concern is tax money.
He explained how he'll fund it. He's gonna increases taxes for the top 1% and make those evil rich people pay their fair share!Yes.

Or that if you don’t agree that men in dresses should be allowed to compete in women’s sports, then you are a bigot who is worse than Hitler. Yeah, reeeeeal easy to “unite” with that mind setYeah, unite come together. But. if you don't take what equals to a flu shot you can't earn a living. The unite ship has sailed.
