Okay not that I'm suggesting the GOP is any good, but Biden set a 100% import tax on Chinese EVs and sent Yellen to complain about the overproduction of Chinese renewables.

They both protect American megacorp interests because they are both lobbied by the same companies.

Biden is NOT a liberal or progressive. He's just less of a fascist than the GOP. He lives in a world where more than 100 million people swallow anything the GOP forces into their mouths.

The democrats are also a right-wing party, just less so than the republicans

This, 100%.

There's a false narrative that everything and everyone is either left or right, liberal or conservative, blue or red. But it's simply not the case.

There are a handful of leftists in the Democrat party, but the vast majority are right wing conservatives. The Overton window has shifted hard to the right and most of the Democrats shifted along with it.

A Democrat politician today would have been considered a right wing republican extremist 40 years ago.
