I am engaged in grassroots, party, and national efforts to combat Medicaid cuts. I've had conversations recently with non-Harris voters (one Trump voter, one write-in) who consistently echoed concerns about waste and fraud.
This widespread narrative signals that we are losing the messaging battle. Simply denying the existence of waste and fraud, or minimizing its extent, is proving ineffective. A robust national effort is critically needed to counter this entrenched, false narrative, much as the anti-DEI sentiment has taken hold. While belated, I remain hopeful for a stronger, unified national message. Ben, take the lead, please.
In the absence of effective national counter-narratives, sharing compelling local stories becomes paramount. However, many Medicaid recipients, and even those navigating Social Security and Medicare applications who face similar fears and extensive delays, are understandably reluctant to speak publicly.
On a separate but related note: I hope you will feel more comfortable sharing opinions on relevant issues. For instance, I wish prominent activists like David Hogg would direct more energy toward developing novel strategies to counter prevailing political narratives, rather than focusing solely on issues like the equivalent of age limits for elected officials or adherence to specific progressive tenets.
