Try Guys Try Monogamy, Breakup Videos, and Expanding Social Security.
Well, mostly they’re just trying to get on without Ned, (if you don’t know him, just know that he probably hit on you at a NYC nightclub) but same difference.
The Democrats, on the other hand, are all about trying to expand Social Security. While Republicans want to change Social Security so that Congress has to approve it each year, Democratic lawmakers are proposing a solution that will expand benefits to all beneficiaries in order to match the higher cost of living.
You might think that it’s weird that the mid-20s writers of this newsletter care about Social Security, but may we remind you that Social Security is very popular with old people and old people vote. And guess what y’all? Voters strongly back Democrats’ plans to protect and expand Social Security vs. Republicans’ plan of letting Grandma go without heat or insulin.
Our latest poll finds that after learning about the different plans for Social Security — that Republicans want to change Social Security and Democrats want to expand benefits — 57% of voters say they would vote for the Democratic candidate if the election were held today, while 33% say they would vote for the Republican candidate.
Sure seems like more voters should be hearing about Republican’s repeated attacks on Social Security. Might just be us though.
