Was there a campaign trail mod that used "Don't look back in anger" by OASIS?

I'm listening to OASIS for the first time and one of the songs I listened to was "Don't look back in anger" (great song btw). And I swear I think I heard the chorus in a NCT mod once. Anyone know if there's a mod that used it?

Do obama and Biden really dislike each other as much the 2024 sunset seems to suggest ?

I knew Biden kinda hated that he was sidelined in favour of Hillary in 2016 but I didn't know they kinda dislike each other to this point . Anyone knows why exactly though ? Are there some other reasons why they don't get along well ?

Who would be the 1976 Democratic nominee for president in this version of the TTNW-verse?

Visits: 7 to IA, 7 to IN

  1. We know who the holdouts are.

  2. We'll have to cut back on aid until this new government acquiesces to our goals.

  3. Nothing can prepare the public for this... atrocity.

  4. Pat is a dear friend.

  5. We've gotta neuter this thing, cut the balls off of it, it's irresponsible, completely unworkable.

  6. We get it.

  7. If the CBO confirms what these estimates are saying the bill is as good as done for.

  8. Jack took years to get the ball rolling on civil rights, he thought it'd be political suicide but I talked him into it!

  9. Those protesters, both sides, have forgotten what we as a country can be when we work together.

  10. We have seen time and time again how the conditions at home inspire urban unrest of all kinds.

  11. I made my reputation as America's chief law enforcement officer, and I won't abandon it.

  12. This entire Reagan situation should knock the Republicans back for a good bit.

  13. Cocksucker.

  14. No! No!

  15. Damn it, we need these elections.

  16. John. Look, I don't care what you do.

  17. It's our chance to get a leg up on him.

  18. This shit could blow up in my face if we don't act.

  19. It's not like they have the votes to do anything.

  20. He's been a pain in my ass for nearly a decade now, and I've had about enough of it.

  21. What we need now is loyalty.

  22. We need to talk about how we've moved beyond what my successors tried to do.

  23. Four years ago, we didn't really have a plan for this, because the idea that Rockefeller could ever get the nomination seemed out there...

  24. Ah, well, have him go out there and... er... rally Democrats out on the hill for us.

  25. I take great pride in being able to stand in the lineage of this party and its commitment to expanding opportunity to the less fortunate.

  26. Fuck 'em, we'll go the other way around.

  27. If Rockefeller had it his way, we'd be right back into the Vietnam quagmire that this administration promised to end.

  28. I'm not the type to look a gift horse in the mouth.

  29. Roy Wilkins at the NAACP's been good to us.

  30. These Midwesterners are a plain-spoken people.

N.B.: The mod doesn't specify that Shriver gets the Secretary of State job if Connally moves over to Treasury, or that Humphrey was elected to the Senate in 1970 as he was in OTL, but both seem like reasonable assumptions to me.

Anti Goldwater ad from Lyndon Johnson’s Mississippi campaign 1964

This ad was from Johnson’s official Mississippi campaign, chaired by Greenville lawyer Doug Wynn, (who was a personal fried of Johnson’s wife), who Johnson appointed to be the chairman of his Mississippi campaign after Wynn blocked the black Mississippi Freedom delegates from the 1964 Dem convention.

FOLKS, I have a special announcement and request from all our Michelle loving patriots…who should be the 47 Percenter’s Running Mate!

For the Michelleiestas who need context, I’m making a wiki scenario with our wonderful resident Dole Man, the big Leviathan as well as the 47 Percenter but I’m at a loss of who his opponent should be so I’ve written up a short list you lot can decide.

If none of these people excite you, then you can put your write in candidate in the comments.
