28. 'The party has other priorities than old people on fixed incomes"

I guess you missed this (where the effort started over a dozen years ago) -



And as a follow-on to all of this, be aware that ALL of the effort that is being put into exposing "Project 2025" is partly BECAUSE of its caveats to gut and eventually eliminate Social Security, Medicare, and any other social safety net.

Unfortunately since the Project 2025 document is over 900 pages long, the Democratic Party "exposures" of it have been broken down into different "topics", but here is a comprehensive thing about it (event starts at 16.53) -



I think the "problem" here is how one consumes "news" and "messaging" and the changes in "communications" caused by technology.

I.e., for some, if it's not "seen" on their local TV or newspaper, then "no one is doing anything about the problems or talking about them". I don't how to address that other than to say that if someone frequents DU, then they have some access to "technology" and "information" and these topics have been covered extensively here all over the place - whether as "news" or "commentary" or with the posting of videos with political figures and analysts discussing it, including elected officials who have attempted to address some things through legislation.

And as a note that I posted before - half of DU is "old" (meaning between 50 - 80+), so you are yelling at the choir.
