Left of Joe Biden.
But, isn't it true that those politicians agree with the majority of stuff that the Biden Administration has said or done?

They like them better than the last president, but that doesn't mean Biden is as left as they are.

Why should I? I believe that you already know what they are.
So now you're hand waving because you don't have any examples?

I can think of a few things like wanting to develop renewables, and maybe Medicare for all, but your assertion was "Biden agrees with many of their viewpoints." You claimed many. I'd like you to list some of those many.

Let's say neo-Marxists or progressives. Teachings like CRT are spinoffs of Marxism.
No, let's use actual, proper terms and appellations instead of whatever slur de jour you want to use to attack them. Teddy Roosevelt was progressive. William Jennings Bryan was a progressive.

If one views the Biden Administration as a moderate centrist group in the USA, that might say more about the location of the viewer than the view itself, as well.
Not really. Any objective observer with even a cursory understanding of political science the Biden administration has been pretty moderate.

The influx of mass immigration is creating stress on all the nations ... also along with that is a clash of cultures .... there are election deniers but they are not the bulk of the problem ... the mass immigration is and the current administration is doing nothing to stop it.
Maybe if every conservative politician and talking head in this country wasn't shrieking at the top of their lungs that the border is open (when it isn't) there wouldn't be enough trying to cross that they overwhelm CPB and ICE.

You're just kidding, right?
No. Why would you ask me that?

There isn't a single socialist or communist in a significant position of power (there might be mayor somewhere). I see later in the thread you named President Obama which is hilarious because he's not a socialist or communist and he's not in any position of power.

Ugh, this is exhausting. My point was that progressive is NOT a synonym for neo-Marxist.

How many of them identify as neo-Marxist?

Critical Race Theory is a spinoff of the Marxist Critical Theory, substituting race for class.

There are any number of mundane things he has done that anyone would agree with. The more interesting part might be what issues the disagree on, and which of those disagreeing views is further to the left.

The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee is led by the publicly avowed socialist Bernie Sanders. But most communist and socialist politicians won't publicly admit to it, even while pursuing socialist policies. Obama's "Obamacare" -- government controlled and financed health care -- is a classic socialist program. FBI Chief Comey and CIA Top Spy Brennan Voted for Communists. Obama was a protege of the communist Bill Ayers, and he was mentored by the communist Frank Marshall Davis. But Obama claimed, like so many lying politicians, to be a Christian when he ran for president.

Your arguments are merely parrotings of what we get from the liberal media.

Oh, and by the way, the Biden administration was dominated by former appointees and close associates of Obama, so don't feign like he does not still wield a great deal of political power!

Not even close.

First, under the Affordable Care Act, the government doesn't control or finance health care. Private health insurance does that. The ACA mandates that everyone must have health care, provided by private insurers, and provides subsidies to those who can't afford it.

There is nothing even remotely socialist in the ACA. In fact, the idea for the program came from the conservative think-tank the Heritage Foundation, to counter the suggestion of a single payer health plan.
