When asked if he supports the Democrats fascist scheme to pack the Supreme Court in order to ensure that the Democrat agenda can be imposed on us by the Court Joe said he won't say because it would become "a big issue".

When asked if he'd pack the Supreme Court he said:
“It’s a legitimate question. But let me tell you why I’m not going to answer that question: because it will shift all the focus. That’s what he wants,” Biden said. “He never wants to talk about the issue at hand. He always tries to change the subject.”Joe is saying first off that we the people don't have the right to know what his position on a critical issue is because it will cause us to talk about it.
He says that he won't answer a question he himself declares is legitimate because it will hurt his chances of getting elected.
Can you imagine anything more fascist than that? We the people aren't allowed to know what Joe will do because it might upset us and he knows better than we do.
He's treating you like you're a kid and he's your parent.
And in what universe is discussing court packing, which Democrats have declared they will do if Amy Coney Barrett gets on the Supreme Court, not an issue at hand?
By at hand it appears that Joe means an issue that will help him with voters.
This is amazing a Presidential candidate refusing to tell us what he plans to do because we won't like it.
But it's not the first time Joe has done this.
When he was credibly accused of sexual assault by Tara Reade she wanted access to his Senate records which are kept under lock and key at a university.
In explaining why he wouldn't let anyone search those records he said that conversations he had with foreign leaders, including Putin, were in there and that revealing those would hurt his campaign.
Joe thinks you're too stupid to appreciate how wonderful his plans are so he's telling you to shut up and quit asking questions he doesn't want to answer.
Is that the kind of person you want running the country?

Er, no? He never said it might upset us. He said it would distract from the hypocrisy of the GOP and their stealing a SCOTUS seat. No matter how he answers the question it will make news (since people on both sides care) and he wants it to be a non-issue by stopping the nomination in the first place. And Biden makes this clear in his full quote:
> Let’s say I answer that question, then the whole debates gonna be about what Biden said or didn’t say... The discussion should be about why he is moving in a direction that’s totally inconsistent with what founders wanted
Obviously he never mentions his chances of being elected being a reason.
Oh and obviously none of this, even in the worst case interpretation, is "fascist" and we can all imagine more fascist things than this. Maybe look up Umberto Eco's famous essay on fascism? You'll find it characterizes Trump much more than Biden and makes no mention of "refusing to outline your plans".
Further Trump himself has played the "I won't tell you what I'll do" card many times. E.g. his secret plan to defeat ISIS.
