evidence: Radical politicians such as Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) have already taken advantage of Biden's absence of vision, pushing the presumptive Democratic nominee further left than he's ever been before. While Biden has gone to tremendous lengths to portray himself as a so-called "moderate," his current policy platform has morphed into something that even former President Barack Obama would have been reluctant to run on. "Joe already has what is the most progressive platform of any major party nominee in history," former President Obama recently said while endorsing Biden. "[E]ven before the pandemic turned the world upside-down, it was already clear that we needed real structural change." Pleased with the ascendancy of his own radical ideology within the Democratic Party, Sanders has effusively praised Biden since the release of the "unity platform," arguing that his new policy platform would make him "the most progressive president since FDR."
