Biden audited the rich, expanded green power, investigated monopolies to deny mergers, and protected gay marriage. Not only was Joe Biden comparatively left but also globally left.
If you don’t consider left to be progressive, opposed to right as in conservative, then what does it mean to you?
Setting aside how “leftist” and “progressive” aren’t synonyms (one has to be at least somewhat anti-capitalist to be a leftist), and how Biden is a far cry from a proper progressive (though he still was the most progressive president America had for a good while), voting for a progressive doesn’t necessarily make one a progressive. What if the 9 million were mostly centrists or neoliberals? You need to address that possibility.
You fucking know that that’s not what that word means. Nobody is going to hear “leftist” and think “anybody who voted for Biden.”

Ah, I see, your definition is that Red Fascists are Left and that Blue Fascists are Right.
That tracks for tankies like you, actually. Not recognizing any actual progressivism as a legitimate political ideology.
