The rise of Biden mirrors the rightward shift or downfall of the Democratic Party. In this book you'll watch as a not terrible but still pretty centrist guy shift ever rightward, till he serves corporate interests, hates being called liberal, doesn't believe abortion is a right, values a McConnell photo op over stemming the tide of maga fascism, helped Kennedy and Alito to SCOTUS, supported Iraq invasion, 94 crime bill and a host of things he could've fought against then so we wouldn't be in the situation we're in now. But he chose his career over fighting for the people. He wanted to be known as your buddy (if you are a Republican or corporate donor) rather than someone fighting for our rights. He values bipartisanship, but usually only when it benefited Republicans.
