^ An unusually thoughtful post for this forum!
But it's a lot more complicated when you consider what REALLY motivates Biden, and what he has & hasn't done.
He & his party have no will to push for single payer for instance, and that's the single most socialist thing he/they could do.
Rather, they prefer to spend BILLIONS in Ukraine.
In 2020, Biden said "I'm not a socialist; I beat the socialist [Bernie Sanders]!"
He was telling the truth that one time, except Sanders wasn't beaten so much as outsmarted (again) by Barry O.
So yeah, Democrats will play footsie with socialist/adjacent dreams, but they will NEVER deliver on them.
Again, the ACA (rather than single payer) demonstrates this beautifully.
The ACA is a grotesque and cruel joke literally written by Big Health Care.
With politicians - and with anyone really - action & inaction speaks MUCH louder than words.
