Do voters really care about political opportunism out of everything they've seen these past few years? I feel like that's not going to be a setback for Kennedy. Who are Biden primary voters going to support? (actually asking lol)... I feel like most of the people who are tuned out don't pay any attention to this back and forth. From the outside, it just looks like Markey dissing the Kennedys in a douchy way imo
Is Markey going to get hurt with turnout if universities are not at full capacity, people-wise?
I doubt it. He’s done a good job (well his highly talented staff has) of getting the young early
Vote out. It’s just a matter of the Kennedy people getting there people out.
Unfortunately the Biden comparison doesn’t hold because Biden got a plurality not a majority.
Where in most states Biden + Bloomberg + Amy was way more than Bernie + Warren, in Massachusetts it was different. So Joe would have to symphon off some of those voters which is possible because anyone over the age of 40 (and especially over the age of 65) has a very postive opinion of the Kennedy’s and knows the greatness of the name and just how much they’ve actually gotten done for the people.
So it’s unique in that most young people are for the old guy and most old people are for the young guy.
It’s sad most people can’t get past the “he’s entitled!” bullsh**t because if they looked at how these two have conducted themselves - the effort they’ve put forth into doing the job of being in Congress. It wouldn’t be close. At all.
Markey is the author of the Green New Deal. That alone blows Kennedy out of the water.
Furthermore, the poll posted a few pages back; the words most assocated bit?
Markey: Old, progressive, experienced
Kennedy: Entitled, young, opportunist.
It is obvious to everyone but you that Kennedy has been unable to answer even basic questions. If he really thought he could be a Senator, he wouldn't have wasted time and would have run against Warren two years ago, or would wait for one of the two incumbents to retire and run against Pressley. Instead, he opted for the cowardly, opportunistic route of challenging Markey and it has completely blown up in his face.
I mean that's kind of why I support Kennedy
