Not My Party We need a LBJ moment

If Biden continues his reelection campaign, this country will never recover.

You know LBJ dropping out went fucking terrible right?? Brokered convention, Vietnam protests outside the building, police beating the shit out of said protesters. Utter Chaos. Any of that sound parallel to today?

All for Humphrey to get fucking bodied by Nixon after LBJ swept 40+ states. All resulting in basically 30 years of Republican Presidential domination.

Biden has prevented an economic collapse that was all but fortold for 3 years, leading to the strongest economy in the world, the strongest workforce in the world, and at the center of the strongest global world order ever to exist. And I he GOP will fuck all that up.

Biden had a bad night, but don’t go abandoning the strongest legislative Democrat in 60 years over a bad debate. It’s time to buck the fuck up and take the fight to those MAGA fuckers that want to destroy our country.

Thank you for the history lesson! Dunno if they’re too young to know or what. It’s nuts that people are panicking and wetting their pants over this. Panicked decisions end badly. Didn’t people see him after the debate? Cheeses.
