Those who oppose Joe Biden sometimes say that he will not stand up to the radical left should he win the presidency on November 3rd.
I say that—I do not believe that the former Vice President is going to stand up to the radical elements of his party.
Let me give you a few examples to back that up.
On September 16th, radical left Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said, “we can likely push Vice President Biden in a more progressive direction across policy issues. I think foreign policy is an enormous area that we can improve. Immigration, another one. Criminal justice, another area where we can pursue a lot of progressive direction. You know, there are some areas where we just fundamentally disagree but that’s okay.”
The signal Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is sending is that Joe Biden can be persuaded to see things her way. What exactly does that mean?
On foreign policy it means, withdrawing most US troops from foreign countries and condemning Israel. I’m not sure if liberal American Jewish voters understand how the far left sees Israel—they hate that country, believing it as an oppressor.
On the criminal justice front, here in New York where I live, we’re seeing that firsthand. Ms. Cortez and her party want to allow criminals to get out of prison—almost like Monopoly—here’s your get out of jail free card. Even violent criminals, because they believe that criminals hurt people and steal and sell narcotics, because society oppresses them, and they don’t have any other choice. That’s the far-left vision.
Now, immigration—it’s obvious—the far left wants open borders—everyone comes to the United States who wants to. And when they get here the US taxpayer picks up the tab for their healthcare cost. You saw the debate, where the question was asked to all of the Democratic candidates, do you support paying the healthcare costs of illegal aliens? And everyone—including Biden—raised his or her hand.
So, what we have now is really not a vote for or against Joe Biden. It is a vote for or against radical leftism.
Is it not? Am I wrong?
If Mr. Biden wins the presidency the odds are that he is not going to go up against the radical wing of his own party because that would create chaos within his party, and Mr. Biden doesn’t want to do it.
