The first in the list of policies Biden supports from the second paragraph says
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.
Another solution to this ambiguity could be to put "including the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act and overturning Citizens United" in parentheses. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caleb Crowther ( talk • contribs) 16:58, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi all. Reading through this, I saw that "religious faith" appears under the "Social Issues" section of this article. The content appears to be made of two items: the first item is that Biden is Catholic and is inspired by CST, while the second item refers to his 2011 statement on Romney's faith. The first item doesn't appear to actually be about his policies on religious faith, but more about the fact that Biden has a faith and draws from CST, so I'm not sure it's appropriate to include in this sort of organizational structure. The second might be a political position (he doesn't believe that religious faith should be a qualifier for office), though if the relevant subsection was about religious liberty/tolerance/pluralism, then I would think that the subsection probably should be re-titled along those lines. I wanted to put this down here first to check before making substantial edits to see if there is a longstanding reason as to the current organizational structure that I am missing. Does anybody else have any thoughts on this? — Mikehawk10 ( talk) 06:30, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
Where is the evidence that Biden is a Christian Democrat? So, one guy wrote it one journal. So what? Christian Democrats are socially conservative. Biden is a strong social liberal who supports LGBT rights, and not only supports abortion, but wants to repeal the Hyde Amendment. He said repeatedly that Christians should not be allowed to discriminate against LGBT people. Biden is not a Christian Democrat. I will delete this, unless someone has a good reason to keep it. 108.18.65.13 ( talk) 02:12, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
How is it personal analysis? It is not "research" to say that he supports gay marriage? It is a statement of fact that Joe Biden is not a social conservative, the same way that is a statement of fact that the sky is blue. However, it is true that social conservatism is more mild in Europe than it is here, and Biden's social views, at least in his earlier career, could conceivably be in the same range. For this reason, if you could find more than one source to make the Christian Democrat claim, I would be more receptive. 108.18.65.13 ( talk) 03:18, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

How is he a "centrist" or "center-left" given his support for CRT and other far-left cultural positions? 2600:4040:445D:C200:5267:4FEC:9BA:C71E ( talk) 21:57, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
I don't know much about protected pages, but if there is someone out there that can add protection to this page please do. This page has been receiving high amounts of vandalism recently. Jonah080 ( talk) 20:02, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
