    Yup, even that should be a big deal though. Throughout the entirety of the Cold War our foreign policy prioritized fascists over socialists to the point we backed many of them like Pinochet to overthrow their democratically elected socialist governments.

    Now the Democrats are explicitly doing the opposite, I feel like that’s a massive change.

      Very true. Especially since Biden is an iconic member of Clinton’s third way. And given the American shift from “communism has the right to exist but not to expand” to “no communist states have the right to exist” in US foreign policy in the late 20th century this is even more impressive.
