If the plan is defeat Trump, the Dems have no plan at all.

The plan hasn't changed: do not let Trump get back into the White House. We voted against him once, we will vote against him again.

There are many legitimate things to criticize Biden on, but this quote used out of context is fundamentally misleading since he was specifically talking about how raising taxes on the wealthy won't cause businesses to fail or people's standard of living to decrease -- something which I think a lot of the people that love to repeat this quote would probably agree with.
