Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: An open invitation to Biden supporters who have long been opposed to the NRA [View all]... Biden is trying to be the candidate who pulls in Obama voters who defected to Trump in hunting states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
These are hunters and NRA members who believe the NRA isn't corrupt and evil.
So he's trying to find a logic that unites both sides. This is a logic that works in theory.
The NRA *was* a fine organization at one time, but under the current leadership, it has become deeply corrupt by the influence of the manufacturers.
As a membership driven nonprofit corporation it's possible that it can be returned to it's original mission by the authority of it's members. The members can vote our the current board of directors and then fire the CEO. Then hire new leaders that are trashed with bringing it back to it's hunting mission.
Do I expect any of that is realistic? It feels nearly impossible, but it's a logic and approach that's both true (corruption is tired in the control by the manufacturers) and might be heard by the voters we have to join us (Midwestern Obama to Trump voters). And it's one if the few tactics I've seen that might start to unite Americans again.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
