Where is all the animosity coming from? The guy is a champion of the same causes you guys claim to care about. But all because he had the nerve to primary a guy who most in this state didn’t give a damn about until he had a cup of coffee with AOC - he’s a piece of sh**t?
I think it's 90% because he's a Kennedy and there's the perception that he feels entitled to the seat.
For me personally, it's the bolded.
I've said before that if Caroline's kid runs for office one day & actually offers serious, compelling arguments as to why he'd be the best candidate to hold the office he'd be running for, then I wouldn't oppose him purely on the basis of his name.
But over the course of this primary challenge, JKIII - instead of actually showing & proving that he deserves an opportunity to hold elected office regardless of who his family happens to be - hasn't made a clear case as to why he thinks Markey is out-of-touch with Massachusetts & its values, hasn't provided any real argument for why he'd be a better Senator for Massachusetts than Markey, & has seemingly only banked on his name-recognition & Camelot nostalgia to win him this primary so he could use the Senate seat to elevate his profile to presidential material-status.
Hence my presence on the Markey train.
