Talk:Political positions of Joe Biden


In 2018, Biden said he had spent more time in private meetings with Chinese leader Xi Jinping than any other world leader.[231] He has criticized Xi as "a guy who doesn’t have a democratic — with a small d — bone is his body. This is a guy who is a thug."[246][247] Biden pledged, if elected, to sanction and commercially restrict Chinese government officials and entities who carry out repression.[244]

The "with a small d" part seems kind of weird and I'd like a source on that one? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tyneic (talkcontribs) 12:02, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

@Tyneic: Hey, I know this is late but I just checked both the sources and they both have that line in them. I'm not sure what you think is weird about it; he's meaning making the distinction between democratic (i.e. a believer in democracy) and the Democratic Party, just like small-c conservatism in the UK. Hope that makes sense. --Bangalamania (talk) 23:48, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

How is it that his opposition to desegregation busing is not mentioned given the significant media attention it has received. Seems like a notable omission.31.187.2.122 (talk) 16:56, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

campaign finance reform including the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act and overturning Citizens United;[13][14]

When I first read it, I thought word "overturning" applied to the list of the rest of the policies he supports, which effectively makes the sentence say the opposite of what it really means. I could be valuable to rearrange the list of policies to put that at the end so that people dont mistakenly assume Biden is actually against all of the policies in the rest of the list by having the word "overturning" at the very end.
