      If America had an opposition party, they could really do something with the fact that Trump wants to loot social security for the emergency rather than find fairer ways to pay for it. Alas, there are Democrats on board for this.https://twitter.com/JStein_WaPo/status/1259542211789717506 …

      How can you say "they would do something," when we just learned about the plan? Meanwhile, Harris and Sanders are proposing 2000k per month in Congress, which I think does count as "doing something."

      I can say that because the idea is being promoted not just by Republicans and social security "reform" is a longstanding policy goal of members of both parties. I.e. https://twitter.com/NatashaRSarin/status/1257671997691236352 …

          Do any of these people hold elected office? If you asked 100 Democrats who these people were, how many would be able to tell you?

          I don't know why you want to misrepresent these things. You would think that someone who was actually interested in protecting and expanding the social safety net wouldn't engage in such behavior.

          this would be vastly more persuasive if you could cite a single dem-backed bill in favor of fighting covid by cutting ss, instead of some random law profs padding out their CVs
