he is also very practical. His years in public service have made him a man who seeks to get things done, rather than push for an agenda that won't pass.
If he had his way, he would want Universal Healthcare, a wealth tax and higher rates on the rich, protect abortion nationally, a strenuous approach to climate change, etc...
But he wants to get things done and understands the compromises needed to do so.
You may disagree with this approach and think we should always go for broke, but I have seen Biden called a moderate or centrist, I think he is a progressive liberal.
Let's face it, if the American voters had given him a Congress with the numbers FDR had, we would have gotten a second New Deal.
He had a 3 to 1 Democrats majority in the House and from 60 to 75 Dem Senators.
