Joe Biden's political history is even more disgusting than you thought (Stay At Home #18)

Tonight we have on Branko Marcetic, author of the new book, Yesterday's Man, to give an overview of Joe Biden's political career going all the way back to the 1970s and the larger historical shifts he's been a part of. Over nearly fifty years in politics, the man called “Middle-Class Joe” served as a key architect of the Democratic Party’s rightward turn, ushering in the end of the liberal New Deal order and enabling the political takeover of the radical right. Far from being a liberal stalwart, Biden often outdid even Reagan, Gingrich, and Bush, assisting the right-wing war against the working class, and ultimately paving the way for Trump.
