But Biden is not on any workable definition of "the left" for what it is worth; he is and always has been a right-centrist
By this definition does that mean this country has never elected a “left” president?

I think that’s quite observably true, yes.

A definition of "left" that excludes Lincoln, FDR, and Biden is so narrow that it's doomed to perpetual failure.

As someone coming from Norway, I can guarantee you that Biden would absolutely not be considered left, or even center, on the Norwegian scale. So for me (who is left on the Norwegian scale), there is -plenty- of room to his left for him to go to. (And yes, T***p is still 10 000X worse.)

This is a common opinion among Europeans, and it is completely and utterly wrong.

As someone from Norway, but who has also lived in the united states for over a decade, I can assure you that it is 100% correct. He might not be particularly far right, but he is absolutely not a leftie.

Biden is a very moderate center-right guy on most issues. Status quo down the line. Don’t see how this is even up for debate.

With the exception of his fondness for unions maybe.

Though he does love police unions also.
