If Dems have 1 message, 1 answer to ANY question, it should be the GOP is going to END SS & Medicare

Both sider media "What do you think about the Border"

Democrat: "It's clear that the biggest issue with the border is that the GOP is hellbent on ENDING Medicare and Social Security, period."

Both sider media "What is Congress doing to help the price of (insert GOP talking point of the week) "

Democrat: "It's clear that the GOP is hellbent on ENDING Medicare and Social Security, period."

Both sider media "Shouldn't Democrats work with the GOP to solve the debt ceiling issue"

Democrat: "It's clear that the biggest issue with the debt ceiling is that the GOP is hellbent on ENDING Medicare and Social Security, period."


Both sider media "What day is today?"

Democrat: "It's clear that the GOP is hellbent on ENDING Medicare and Social Security, period."


END it.

Period.

Let media and GOP heads explode. Let them deflect, cry and lie and then... Democrats need to repeat it and repeat it.

and parents-in-law are probably benefitting from SS and Medicare.

Maybe they feel emboldened to vote against these safety nets because they know the bills will die in the Senate or by the President. Would they dare vote these things out if they knew it would be passed into law?

This could all be political theatre: push to eliminate these two, get their rich donors to give them loads of money, have the bills defeated, and then cry about the Democrats.

Maybe I like to think these assholes are smarter than we think, but they're politicians.

The place I usually go to for lottery tickets and sit there to scratch off, once every two weeks a delivery truck comes, and the driver listens to a hate radio station loudly. The radio guy voice is harsh and very angry where he constantly blames Democrats, Pres Biden, HRC, Pres Clinton, DOJ Holden, anyone that is Liberal/Progressive as EVIL and the cause for everything that goes wrong.

Sometimes they’re more quiet about it, but it’s always on their agenda to gut the safety net.
