    How many times does have to tell you he wants to cut Social Security for everyone to believe him? And how many video clips have to exist for people to worry that these would likely all be devastating Trump ads, if Biden is the nominee? A 3-part thread...

    I warned you. They are going to do everything they possibly can to crush us and preserve the status quo. They are trying to demoralize and destroy this movement. Do not be deterred. Onward.

    It was a great turnout and a great event. We are going to win Colorado on Super Tuesday -- pass it on.

    Here's a really good column on 's bankruptcy legislation, in which Krugman says: "The bankruptcy bill was written by and for credit card companies...Any senator who votes for the bill should be ashamed." Bernie voted against it.

    This is my job I have spent over a decade tracking politicians and Social Security. The whole point of the article you responded too is that the Politifact piece is wrong and so is the Reuter’s piece based on it. You are focusing on the wrong part,

    Warren and Sanders have been chatting and occasionally laughing a good portion of their march arm in arm to Dome.

    Just like Politifact does. And Politifact does it knowingly, they are terrible on Social Security. Biden calls for “adjustments” to Social Security. Those are cuts. It is well known DC speak for cuts. Joe Biden just last year, after intense pressure switched his position

    The Politifact “fact check” that cites says Biden was “being sarcastic” when he said cutting Social Security and Medicare are the only way to pay for a big tax cut. Who is Politifact’s source for this claim? The Joe Biden campaign. No, seriously.

    The attempt to pretend a Biden video was "doctored" is bulls**t peddled by pundits trying to hide 's longtime effort to cut Social Security. Don't fall for it. A widely discredited blog post can't hide Joe's 40-year record.

    Joe Biden is on the defensive and desperate to hide his 40-year record working to cut Social Security — but that record is now front and center in the election 👇🏻

    Yes, that's a component of vision. In this case, I'm confident that will favor policy professionals with smart, serious and egalitarian approaches to policy, as opposed to establishment policy wonks who are boxed in by conventional wisdom and worse.
    Yes but they have to be trusted to hire the right people.

    Counterpoint: this kind of video makes a dangerously weak general election candidate against Trump, who will weaponize this and other videos in ads 👇🏻

    It's kinda awesome that could just reprint this flyer from 25 years ago and use it as an ad today -- and it would still be just as relevant.

    I see that is now denigrating, insulting, tearing down and undermining other Democrats — which is consistent with his record doing the same thing when he helped the GOP push the Iraq War, Social Security cuts and the bankruptcy bill.
    Biden gets more blunt on downballot ripples. “I’m just asking the rhetorical question: Bernie’s the top of the ticket in North, in South Carolina or Warren’s the top of the ticket. How many Democrats down the line you think are gonna win?”

    Even Biden's proposed plan for Social Security, with no benefit boost for everyone, is to the right of John Larson's Social Security 2100 plan, which has a 2% increase and the support of virtually every House Dem. Biden: Larson:

    NYT poll pubbed in late November found 55% voters support Medicare for All, including 81% of Dems. The paper’s editors are ideologically very far away from average voters in both parties
