We must say the GOP is trying toend Social Security and Medicare.
No more nuanced policy explanations. The people we need to reach, the swing voters who base their votes on personality, or "something they heard" need to be hit with the same hammer the GOP uses.
Take what they are doing, multiply by a hundred and hit them hard.

(31,056 posts)The question is always why didnt the Democrats do something to stop these evil Republicans, were gonna need a little help to do that

(33,615 posts)to get that help, we must make the message clear and simple to the voters.

(31,056 posts)And we don't reach them, but there are enough swing voters, that a GOP lie like "They will take away your guns", or Comey saying something, something, Hillary Emails" changes their votes.
A clear definitive "They want to end Social Security" will swing enough voters to our side.
Just as "The WILL overturn Roe!" would have been effective before.
