On the other side of the aisle, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), a key centrist, recently suggested raising the taxable wage cap for the program

How nice of Manchin to come around.  Progressives have been suggesting this for years.  Snark aside, this would be the only Social Security reform I’d be interested in as part of the negotiations
The GOP better stay the fuck away from our Social Security that we paid for during our whole lives as workers. >

They've been attacking it for decades. They already changed social security twice and received no political backlash.
Of course they are, and they'll gain more votes at the same time.
