Expanding healthcare to a universal system would be a complete overhaul of how we currently operate.

Paying off student loans would be radical to how we currently operate

Allowing prisoners to vote would be radical to how we currently operate.

I get that you want to defend your earlier post, but none of that changes the fact that many on the Left condemn Biden because his ideas are not radical enough.

Your comparison isn’t even remotely accurate.

Saying you will open up Medicaid enrollment from 70 million Americans to 320 million isn’t the same as saying you’ll open up the death penalty from murderers to jaywalkers.

Same goes with any of the other things. Expanding existing programs to allow more Americans to benefit isn’t “thorough” or “complete” changes, it’s expansion.

Expanding voting rights has occurred for centuries. Paying off debt is no different from routine government bailouts. Is paying off $1000b in student loans for 44 million Americans radical compared to a $700b corporate bailout?

By your definition, this is progress not radicalization
