Huffpost: 2011 Biden led negotiations where SS cuts were on the table. [View all] Tiggeroshii Jan 2020 OP

This has always been a problem and not just with Biden booley Jan 2020 #2

Well, duh, not a single Democratic candidate is for those NOW! Or so they say. I'm sure KPN Jan 2020 #21

Actually it made very clear they were on the table. Tiggeroshii Jan 2020 #23

"considered applying" and "one source said" Mr.Bill Jan 2020 #28

That is exactly what that means. Tiggeroshii Jan 2020 #31

Welcome! It shouldn't have been there and I apologize for putting it in the first place. Tiggeroshii Jan 2020 #33

Your candidate needs to be able to beat Biden on the merits: qualifications, experience,knowledge, emmaverybo Jan 2020 #35

Considering SS cuts in the first place, IMHO is "going low" Tiggeroshii Jan 2020 #40

We are fools if we don't at least look at some alternatives regarding SS. We can reject them, but to Hoyt Jan 2020 #37

That is an honest response and I appreciate that. But I think many voters strongly disagree with it. Tiggeroshii Jan 2020 #39

Many voters also disagree with mandatory Medicare-for-All. Doesn't seem to faze Sanders or Warren. Hoyt Jan 2020 #41

Well unlike Biden, he isn't denying that he supports this thing that may be unpopular. Tiggeroshii Jan 2020 #42
