    Worldly Biden is on the right. That’s a fact. In American terms he is slightly left. IMO.

      This is only even close to true if you think ‘worldly’ is western Europe plus like 3 other countries. It doesn’t matter what the rest of the world thinks counts as left and right wing. Biden is a left wing American Democrat, this is such a stupid argument.

        It does matter. Categorizing left and right equally leads to a better understanding of who is leading in other countries in comparison. Which is growing more and more important as a world war looks possible. Trying to separate them is just cognitive dissonance. And yes. I consider them worldly as they generally seem to dictate the stance and spectrum of politics of the western world. Where our politics spawned from, relate to, and ally with. My apologies if that offends you.
