Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.

Best case (and most likely) scenario if Moulton runs: he loses and his political career ends right then and there. Worst case scenario: he somehow wins.

Why do you think Seth Moulton is bad or somehow unfit?

He's a generic New Democrat, and while that might not be too bad in other states, Massachusetts can do much better. Would be a tragedy if Warren got replaced by someone like Moulton (or Kennedy for that matter).

Even Massachusetts is not obliged to elect far-left "progressives" only.

Massachusetts has the capacity for a better class of moderate Democrat than warmed-over DLCers.

Better for you and, say, for me, would probably be two very different things....

If you want more of a say in this, you're welcome to move to Massachusetts and register to vote.

That's a horrible thing to say about Essex County.

I hate Massachusetts Republicans because with a few exceptions they all have this bland, indistinguishable (and in my opinion immoral), cookie-cutter non-ideology where the world is an equation and politics is about doing everything possible to avoid getting up off your ass because whenever you do you have to send 'solutions' hither and yon in search of problems and nobody has any actual beliefs, just Positions, nor dreams, just Preferences, and the object of governance is to dissolve any ties that could possibly render a hypothetical, undifferentiated individual citizen responsible to anyone or for anything, and it'll make us feel like sh**t and like there's no greater reason to go on living, but we'll deserve it, won't we? And the exceptions are people like Scott Brown.
