    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...

    NEWS: I briefly caught Warren jumping into her car this afternoon and she joined Bernie hitting Biden on SS: "Bernie Sanders and I established the ‘Expand Social Security Caucus’ in the Senate. As a senator, Joe Biden had a very different position on SS."

    The good news from canvassing in New Hampshire yesterday: whatever asinine thing you saw on TV or the newspaper that made your brain melt probably doesn’t matter because even undecided voters generally like Bernie Sanders.

    I wish I could pin this tweet to my own profile, but it doesn’t let you pin someone else’s tweet (btw doesn’t mean it as a negative — she’s a progressive and one of the best columnists out there)
    there are so many cases of severe brain damage caused by david sirota on this website the guy should be researched by DOD as a potential weapon of mass destruction

    If Biden refuses to acknowledge his past positions on Social Security and explain how he has changed his views then he deserves all the wrath that Sanders and others can dump on him. It is that simple.

    Joe Biden is trying to distract attention from his longtime crusade to cut Social Security - and hes doing that at the same time Mitch McConnell says he wants to work with the next Democratic president to cut Social Security. We're not letting it happen.

    “Funny” as in “absolutely awful.” But the good news is we don’t have to have Biden as the nominee. We can instead have Social Security champion .
    Gonna be funny when Trump runs against Biden on Social Security cuts and Trump wins that debate.

    No amount of backtracking will hide ’s record of attacking social security (and Medicare/ Medicaid). This is the same person that teamed up with credit card companies to write a predatory bankruptcy bill. Roll the tape👇🏾

    “In journalist Bob Woodward's 2012 book The Price of Politics, he portrays Biden during Obama’s first term eager to sacrifice Social Security and Medicare for the sake of bipartisan compromise”
    Biden and Obama spent a lot of months pursuing a deal with Republicans that would have cut Social Security and Medicare benefits. This is a matter of public record. They changed their tune in the latter years but the history is pretty clear on this.

    Biden, on video, says Social Security needs “adjustments.” That means cuts, and that’s an incontrovertible fact. Yet fact checkers are showing political solidarity with each other in pushing a demonstrable falsehood....
    The Bernie Sanders campaign said Joe Biden lauded a Paul Ryan proposal to cut Social Security. That’s False. via

    Because Biden can not defend his horrible record on calling for cuts to social security, he has resorted to flat out lying on about it. Nobody ever doctored a video about it. He just made that up.
    Joe Biden accused Bernie Sanders’ campaign of issuing a “doctored video” to attack him over Social Security, a false claim that ratcheted up the tension between the two campaigns

    Dear : We’re disappointed that you spent 40 years trying to cut Social Security and now you’re trying to erase your record. Sorry, we’re not letting you get away with that, because we need a nominee against Trump who has a much stronger record.
