I don't know, but I suspect that Biden's going to run as a crypto-Republican so she'd be a good fit in that case: Boring, white, noncontroversial politics, and her worst "scandal" is that she's an rear end in a top hat boss. You're not going to peel off a lot of Trump voters but you'll probably pull a shitload of suburbanites.

When my grandpa died my grandma was worried about robbers breaking in when she was all alone so I helped her buy a .38 and put some short rounds in it and then we went to the range and she shot it until she felt comfortable. She wasn't particularly interested in guns so she only wanted to learn to shoot accurately to about 5 yards, which was the distance from her bed to her bedroom door. Once every year I came over and cleaned it and replaced her box of rounds with a fresh one. I got that gun when she died.

Good memory about an aging defender. It's a funny article, but I think that older people keeping a pistol in their bedside drawer in case of a break-in is pretty sensible.

living in chud country and not far from where that boomer shot that church shooter in the head from 30 feet away, the boomers seemed to develop an extra spring in their step after that happened. like sitting in a jack in the box waiting for my tacos (they taste like cardboard but i strangely love them) and a random dude in his 60s strikes up a conversation about it. the old men "still got it" and they've gotta let millennial me know in case we get some funny ideas

I was once shooting guns with a pretty new acquaintance (what’s the worst that could happen) and he made a big point/show about safety, ear protection. Not that that’s bad, but it definitely felt a little compensating, or something. I hadn’t shot much prior so I was like sure, I’ll take earplugs.

He started talking about local law and I asked “do you have a concealed carry?” without realizing that because he had a pistol permit, that was also a concealed carry permit. I thought they were two different things.

Dude, muffled by earplugs, thought I said “Do you concealed carry?” and proceeded to regale me with how he’d carry “downtown” and poo poo “just in case.” At first I was embarrassed that he misunderstood my question until I realized he was just waiting to spill all those deets about when he could have a gun near “criminals.”

A tale old as time.

Crypto-republicans don't peel off any suburbanites because they're often running against actual-republicans but that's never stopped the democrats before

I think he's resting the whole campaign on the premise that center-right white Americans will vote for him out of a desire for normalcy and that the left will hold their nose out of a desire to get rid of Trump.

gently caress if I'm voting for him, but that looks like his plan.

I said elsewhere it's probably not even that- the Dems have gone literally all in on the NeverTrumpers and see this as their salvation myth finally playing out of the Reasonable Republicans riding over the hill to unite against all those shouty rude extremists who actually talk about problems.

Yeah the dream of Democrats is to just win entirely off white suburbanites. The stuff they do to court the left, like halfassedly pretending to support Medicare for All as long as the next elections is at least a year away, they hate that. They don't want to do that. Democrats want to be the managers of the system as it is. And if they can pull enough "moderate" Republicans away to combine with their existing educated white voters, along with their captive older black voters who they assume they'll never lose, then they'll be able to do it.

That's why people are off base when they criticize Dems chasing moderate Republicans as bad electoral strategy. It's not just an electoral strategy to the Dems, building that coalition is their overall political goal.

With the punchline being Republicans know this, have known it for decades, and their entire political project is to make sure it never even has the longest possible shot to actually happen.
