Not even then. What other policy positions do they prefer "strongly?" You're trying to boil this decision down to one policy position when it is anything but.


This is a dismissive talking point from some progressives aimed at the moderates and, specifically, Biden. Look, i'm not a Biden fan (as a candidate at least) but this is an argument made in bad faith.

I guess.

If only they added a question about what the person's #1 policy concern is. That would have clarified this a bit.

Also I'm not sure why you think that argument is in bad faith. It wasn't intended to be. That's the main thing Biden is offering, at least from what I can tell. It's his literal platform from when he announced he was running.

Quote:“We are in the battle for the soul of this nation,” Biden said. “If we give Donald Trump eight years in the White House, he will forever and fundamentally alter the character of this nation — who we are. And I cannot stand by and watch that happen.”

I.E. We must defeat Trump. 

That was his reason why he started his campaign and it has been, by far, his biggest talking point.

Even his wife has said that his main draw is his electability.

Dr. Jill Biden urges voters to consider her husband's electability, saying: "your candidate might be better on, I don’t know, healthcare than Joe is, but you’ve got to look at who’s going to win this election." pic.twitter.com/xdPk95wWnv

So what part was in bad faith?
