At the start of his campaign, Joe Biden looked like a moderate on the side of the Democrats, he promised Democrats a return to normalcy. Even some Republican voters liked some of his ideas. But Joe Biden just wen't off the deep end with his new stance on abortion funding.

he now thinks that the Hyde amendment should be repealed, and that Federal money should be allowed to be used for abortions. This is a change in stance for Biden that has been supported by HIM by 40 years at this point.

Who knows what the hell is going to be left out of his 'moderate' agenda by the time he wins the nominations, as he's going to have to keep shifting to keep the progressive and far left side of the party happy.

Any views on this?

You would think he would be against abortion. After all the more aborted babies there are, the less children there are available for him to grope.

I don't know if any of you have seen the dictator, but this is pretty much the stance in a good amount of nations in the world. Having girls is frowned upon, and people only want boys

Pretty horrid to think this way, but this is the culture that SOME nations embrace.

This is one reason why progressives don't like Biden.  Bidens biggest challenge will be his LONG history, Anita Hill, Crime Bill, Hyde Amendment, he loves Chenney ETC ETC ETC.

Biden has had his problems with the national dem base before, he failed in 88 and 08 to win the presidential nomination (got rekt pretty hard in both). 

Feb is still so far away and Biden will continue to flip flop on lots of his old policies/stances.  Lie to everyone and say whatever you think people want to hear on any given day, IOW be a good corporate politician.

Even with all of this, I think that the party thinks (and knows) that Biden is probably their only chance to be able to win the Whitehouse. So they're thinking in terms of politics and winning, instead of thinking about the groups that they betrayed in the last election cycle (The Bernie Bros)

Biden is going to look bad though, and I do think that Trump and other prominent Republicans will take advantage of this flip-flopping. THis is going to be fun to see if Biden wins the nomination.

I don't understand how people are going to be able to look through all of these flipping stances.

Anita Hill? You mean the one that lied about Clarence Thomas; who was part of the modern-day lynching? That one.  There was no proof that Clarence Thomas did was he was accused of doing.  There was a ton of evidence that this accused behavior was different than what seen experienced by numerous other women.

And, the fact that she took another position with him years after this incident was alleged to have occurred makes it suspect. 

Biden's problem is that he is an old-school corporatist Dem trying to make his way in a party where intersectional social theory has taken root.  He will do well with the labor Dems, the pro-life and the old coalition of the Dems. If the Dems purge the pro-lifer's from their ranks they are going to tank badly.

This is without a doubt true, at least the part about Biden being apart of the old side of the party.

Biden is old news to progressives and new Democrats, he's apart of the establishment that always makes big promises and never deliveries (or at least has a small track record) He's a guy that is in bed with Corporate lobbyist, and is probably going to be a war-hawk if he were to ever gain some real power.

Even saw this VOX article going after him, which shows the progressive side is on the attack against him.
