Heather Cox Richardson goes into how the GOP wants to make 'reforms' to SS. If it is only retirement age and other reforms, you are being abused. If it is the destruction of both programs you are ****ed. For months the odd Rick Scott type have been talking about sun setting it. Democrats delivered the message and now if the GOP is only talking about tweaking it, that is a manipulative, manipulative play. So Democrats get blamed for bearing false bad news and voters feel relief from their overlords the GOP. De Santis has been using this technique for the last year. That affinity you are feeling for those who decide not to hurt you as much when they were the source of hurt is not love, or like, it is relief and you are in an abusive relationship. Don't vote for your abuser.

All that Democrats have to do is fucking replay McCarthy.
Fetterman is running those kind of ads. His ads say that Oz will be the vote to outlaw abortion in Pa. He says that Oz will vote to abolish Social Security and Medicare.
Why doesn't the Democratic party run national ads that hit on 3 major topics and repeat and hammer those 3 topics? That is what the Magats are doing, they are running on 3 topics and hammering them.
