Biden was unelectable in 2020, too. Remember his rallies with a dozen people attending?

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom - go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

Samuel Adams

Sam was a bit of a loose cannon.

He (through his lieutenant, Will Molineaux) fomented the Boston Massacre (witnesses testified that Molineaux actually directed the rioters, though he was described only as a 'tall man in a red cloak'), then harassed his distant cousin John Adams when he undertook the defense of Capt. Preston and his men for murder.

His "bully boys" were only moderately controllable, he was in essence a crime boss, and that's why he was lateraled out of national politics to end his days as a largely figurehead governor of MA.

"THE natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of man, but to have only the law of nature for his rule. "

This appears to be a John Locke quote rather than a Samuel Adams quote.
