      It's interesting how many people are ignoring this although that's what happened. https://twitter.com/Patrick_Fenelon/status/1227607860474994688 …

      I'd have to dig up the polls but I definitely saw Biden's numbers soften among the olds (his base) in run-up to Iowa. It's true there could be other reasons (bad debate, Trump's smear) but social security was definitely something Biden himself was defensive about.

          Finally an honest enagement with someone who disagreed with you. This evidence seems...inadequate. Didn't Biden's number with *everyone* weaken in the run-up to Iowa?

          The social security attack seems like one that could theoretically be potent, but I'd need to see more evidence that people in Iowa actually knew about it, at the very least. Also, we're already a long way from "Sirota basically knocked Biden out of the race by himself."

          There’s literally no evidence that Biden’s old stance on Social Security hurt him.

          but as you say, his base was olds. just losing support per force has to mean losing support with them. I think they were mainly defensive because the attacks were fairly disingenuous. But I'm not sure people outside the Sirota ectoplasm saw this as a big driver of anything.

          It’s ridiculous. Biden lost because he looks like he’s 97 and campaigns horribly, as he always has.
