    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...

    This is a fantastic must-read story reviewing how Biden worked to cut Social Security while Bernie fought those cuts. What’s sad is that a serious policy-focused story about a critical issue is such a rarity in the coverage of the 2020 campaign.

    I have a crazy idea, hear me out: leading America into a war that killed hundreds of thousands of people & trying to slash the Social Security that millions rely on — these are more important issues than any bullshit stories manufactured by the campaign press corps.

    🚨BOOM: "The Biden campaign complained to that Biden's Social Security comments were taken out of context. Placed in context, however, Biden’s record on Social Security is far worse. Biden has advocated for cuts to Social Security for 40 years"

    You, focused on bullshit media-manufactured stories Us, the campaign and mass movement focused on stopping the effort to slash Social Security, which millions of people literally rely on for their survival 👇🏻
    “Biden has repeatedly worked to cut Social Security & has never offered a good explanation for his crusade. His Social Security record is not only atrocious on a policy level, it’s an enormous political vulnerability in both a primary & a general election”

    Consider the possibility that what’s actually driving our opponents crazy is the fact that we’re surging in the polls and we’re staying laser focused on the issues, no matter how intense the effort to derail and distract us 👇🏻

    Hes a horrible person & his equally awful wife is a state rep in Denver and i promise you she will be primarying Sen Bennet in 22. CO is trending blue but that will stop mighty fast if we try to Sanders-ize.

    Had forgotten about this: Biden once so enthusiastically supported the Iraq War he told Bush that if he could get it done w/o having to stay for too long he'd get him the Nobel Peace Prize and support him in the election h/t 's book "Days Of Fire"

    The biggest lie this campaign is that Biden is a comfortable, safe, middle of the road, choice. He keeps getting caught trying to cover up his past choices, he elaborates in anecdotes, he's sided with big money on Social Security, bankruptcy, NAFTA, he flipped on SuperPACs.

    Hundreds of thousands of people died and trillions of dollars were spent in the Iraq War that unapologetically led America into. In this primary, he must answer for his actions — we will not let him erase his record from history.
