You counter this stuff by not only the fear card but with POLICY.
"Protecting Social Security" is a defense of the status quo which currently is horrific, leaving many seniors & disabled people yours truly having poverty forced upon us. I get just $800/mo to try and live on with disability in a city, Denver, where a 1 bedroom apartmeny averages almost $2k a month.

Enough "protection", let's talk about a full expansion instead!

And while we're at it, let's talk about full weed legalization too. That's the issue right there which would win us the midterms. It's widely popular and I am absolutely furious that this isn't being spoken of.

Our messaging is just bad. We can do much better and it's pretty easy to do too! Like boasting about how we did a Social Security COLA of 8.5%. yet crickets. I don't know what's up but this isn't good.
