An open invitation to Biden supporters who have long been opposed to the NRA

There are plenty of posts in both threads explaining what is wrong with Biden's position on the NRA, not just my own thoughts, but those of other DUers, including those supporting Biden.

If this is a big enough issue to "bring down" Biden, well, it's his own doing. He voluntarily put his position out there during the debate and on his social media.

You see, the primary is about determining who is the best candidate. That means contenders make the best case for themselves that they can. It also means that candidates, and their supporters, are going to voice what they perceive as flaws in their rivals' platforms. That's the way it goes.

So when somebody who supports another candidate says, "Please don't say something critical about the person I'm supporting," I say, "Either mount a defense or admit there's an issue."

As for Mayor Pete, I have created and posted in numerous threads why he has my vote at this point. I'm fully cognizant that Pete also faces challenges on his road to the presidency. Could any of those obstacles prevent him from getting there? Most definitely. I will remain an ardent ally until he's out of the race. Then, at that juncture, I plan to get behind Elizabeth Warren or Kamala Harris.

Biden isn't the strongest or brightest of this crop, IMO. If he is our nominee, so be it. I'll take Joe over Trump in a heartbeat. But until Biden reaches that finish line, there's plenty of debating and vetting to take place.
