Just saying

"Fifty years ago, on March 31, 1968, Lyndon B. Johnson appeared on national television and announced that he was partially halting the U.S. bombing of Vietnam, and that he had decided not to seek his party’s nomination for president. “There is division in the American house now,” Johnson declared."

If actually made a move like this and rejected his own party I would change my stance and actually consider voting for the guy. Though with Bidens extremely racist track record even then it would be a hard sell. But that would go a long long way to make me consider him.

On the flip side even if Trump pulled this he still wouldnt get my vote. But thats another matter.

@freemo

You couldn't pay me enough to vote for trump. There's not enough money in the world.

That orange pos, thanks to man, is way ahead in the polls. Biden needs to drop out now and let someone run who can beat trump. At this point, almost anyone else would be good.

Biden's ego is going to get us trump. Just like Hilary's did

@Mary625 @freemo

Looks like bidon really don't like palestinian folks and wish them all dying from explosions 🤔

@lonelyowl13

Indeed his reaction to the war there exemplifies his immorality and racism, but it is hardly limited to that.

@freemo @Mary625

I suppose it's the main problem now. Taking in account overall political landscape, it isn't a big deal if a person supported some racist shit 50 years ago. United states anyway never had a perfectly reasonable candidate that isn't racist or imperialist or whatever else evil nuthead 🤷‍♀️

If we were talkign about just some passing decision that has a slight racist tinge to it, sure. But we are talking about a man who centered his entire career around this racism, has said explicitly racist thigns, and has continued to be either explicitly racist or clearly a racist in stealth since then (he doesnt hide it well).
