The same picture - Divisions by zero

The study doesn’t match the headline.

Seriously. The rhetorical shift:

Study of American men’s self-reported political affiliation shows that “moderate” aligns pretty closely with “conservative.”

Headline assigns “moderate” political affiliation to Joe Biden, to suggest that Joe Biden’s policies align closely with “conservative.”

Biden campaigned on being the most progressive president in U.S. history. Did he deliver? Not on all metrics, but whatever it is he did, he wasn’t a secret conservative pretending to be moderate. The most you can accuse him of is being a moderate pretending to be progressive.

Biden was a fundamentalist catholic who thought homosexuality was a sin and abortion was murder.

Everything he did that could be considered progressive he did as a compromise to his own values - that’s what makes him a moderate.

That’s exactly the type of person this article is talking about.

Eh I’ve spoken to Biden personally about gay rights, dude’s not bigoted and leans into the progressive catholic church. His wife being a physician doesn’t see abortion as murder I don’t think. His conservative tendencies are that he’s establishment - he thinks he’s still playing the same football game they’ve been playing since he was a kid. He’s neoliberal as hell as is the entire Democratic leadership, which turns people off.

His wife being a physician

She isn’t though. She’s an Ed.D (her doctorate is in education) not an MD.

She also has an MEd, which is a Master’s in Education. I think people like the one you’re replying to skim her Wiki and read it as Med, as in Medical, which is hilarious.

I hadn’t thought of that. You’re probably right.
