Joe Biden supports ban on federal funds for abortion except for rape/incest

You're assuming the Democratic Party officials aren't completely willing to go as far right and corporate as they can as long as they're still relatively less right-wing and corporate than the Republicans.
Individual candidates can have morals, but the heads of the party don't actually give a shit.

Ahahahahah

Oh fuck you're serious.

As along it’s definitely not those corrupted Centrist and centre-rights candidates. Then it’s maybe fine.

I didn't expect anything less from Biden tbh. As a country with right-wing policies being a centrist would also make you a supporter of the right-wing as well.

I'll say this again the DNC and GOP share similar interests thanks to special interest groups spending on both parties. Don't expect the DNC to start learning because they don't need to, they get paid by wealthy interest groups regardless of the election outcome.

This has nothing to do with the right wing or corporate nature of the democratic party. This has to do with independents not being in step with it on this issue among others. Repealing the Hyde amendment isn't very popular (2) outside of the party.

Biden has made it clear he wants to avoid an image of a sectarian candidate in an ideological bubble, he wants to be a continuation of the Obama years and, unlike Clinton, a candidate that will make it a point to speak to what's often called the 'middle' of the country that A) were the basis of the marginal Trump victory B) have sharply declined in their support for the current president. Independents, such as those in suburbs and rust belt states (where the Obama-Trump voters were located), are ripe for adding to and also key to Democratic national strength. BDA's old posts about a big tent party in contrast to Republican parochialism hold true here.

Holy shit he flipped. Good guy

[Saint Furrybutt]

it’s pretty much too late, Biden. Everyone (except your ‘super’ diehard “supporters”) knows you are just as worse floppy flipper than Hillary.

[Gook Nukem]

At least he explains his reasoning for flipping

Dude's got more waffles than a house of pancakes.

[Geel]

How does it make him a good idea to obviously have no real principles and only change his beliefs when his current beliefs are costing him political points

That makes him a horrible person

[AlbertWesker]

Do not vote for Biden in the primaries.

Fucking hell, the Democratic Party has found a way to somehow be more cumbersome and laughable this cycle. It get's harder and harder for me to pretend that it isn't a result of complicity between the two parties and those beautiful corporate and military interests.
