Any Democrat who votes to cut Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security benefits does so at his or her own peril, and shouldn't be in the least bit surprised to be held accountable by MoveOn members in the next primary election.

Adam Green of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee elaborated:

That's a crucial distinction. What's worried some about the Politico article is that it kind of tossed in reforms or efficiencies along with talk about raising the Medicare retirement age or adjusting the cost of living adjustment - those two things would essentially start a nuclear war on the left.

Those are the two big things.

Those are benefit cuts.

Those actively hurt seniors.
