Ryan doesn’t make social issues his focus, and I think he’ll actually resonate better than you think with younger voters. What he should do to ensure that is talk about how he’s going to make sure that a restructured Medicare exists when they retire, and that if things aren’t changed the system will have collapsed long before that time. He’s the man with a plan, and Obama’s “big fuckin’ deal” hasn’t saved Medicare, only postponed its bankruptcy for a few years.

the whole argument he makes reminds me of the old “we had to destroy the village to save it” line from the vietnam war

the CBO estimated that obama’s ACA extended the fiscal health of medicare for another nine years, into the mid 2020s, so don’t tell me that obama has offered nothing
