These two comments are a perfect summary of why I stopped debating politics online with anyone.

A good 50% of the online crowd, on both sides (left/right) are *absolutely delusional* when it comes to political perception.

On the right you'll hear Biden is too far left because of the massive public spending, the aggressive NLRB policies favoring labor, the support to unions, anti free trade policy, neo-brandeis antitrust, trans rights speeches and wealth tax support.

On the left you'll hear Biden is actually a neoliberal or center right, because of his stance on Israel, his belief that welfare capitalism is better than socialism, his belief in economic growth and innovation, his past ties with the banking sector, his 1994 crime bill and support for the police, pragmatic climate policy, etc.

When debating online half the time you're just trying to filter out completely delusional beliefs, and it's tiring.
