Biden’s Democratic Party is to the left of Obama’s. Thank a progressive.

[BidenPresident]

Left-wing ideas and policies are more ascendant in American politics today than arguably at any time since the 1960s and certainly since Ronald Reagan won the presidency and pushed U.S. politics — including the Democratic Party — firmly to the right. It’s not that the left’s ideas are always winning, as recent Supreme Court rulings limiting affirmative action in college admissions and college debt forgiveness showed. It’s that progressive ideas are now truly in the mainstream — pushing the United States in a more equal and just direction.

"Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and other left-wing movements and figures have told a similar story: The rich and major corporations have disproportionate power and wealth in the United States, so sweeping policy changes are necessary to make the country more equitable, particularly along racial lines. This general argument has been bolstered both by data and research and by events, most notably the police killings of Black people that have been captured on video.
