The government can't manage it's spending so don't count on it for your needs

Imagine if you were looking for a financial planner to help you get your finances in order and one of the candidates had credit card debt that was equal to 6 years of his income.  Would you seriously consider that person as an advisor?

Obviously not.

Yet today the Federal government owes roughly 6 years of its total income in the equivalent, albeit at slightly lower rates.

Democrats want you to count on Social Security and Medicare which means they want you to put your life and your health into the hands of an organization, the Federal government, which can't manage its own money.

Further based on history it's unlikely that the Democrat politicians will subject themselves to the same rules as they want to impose on you. Remember that one of the big things the Republicans did when they got power during the Clinton administration was to force members of Congress to follow the same laws that they had imposed on we the people.

Also remember that when Democrats passed Obamacare, without a single Republican vote, they exempted members of Congress from it.

Democrat politicians want to force you to be dependent on them even though they know that in the long run they'll fail you.  That's because they don't care about you; in fact they hate you.  What matters to them is that they can control you and force you to live the way they want you to live.
