I am a Kennedy hawk and want him in the Senate. Markey has served his state, time for Kennedy

Joe Kennedy is gonna win, he has the reform agenda of ending the filibuster, overall, Markey hasnt done anything but be a party-line vote

What about being the primary Senate sponsor of the Green New Deal? He's quiet, but, especially on environmental issues, it's not hard to find instances throughout his career where he has been a valuable leader who takes his own initiative.

I know Markey is a good Senator, I felt so bad for Mfume when he lost to Ben Cardin and he became a party-line vote along with Markey. We should never let that happen again. Thats why I am suppirting Joe Kennedy

I find it mystifying that certain Democrats are thrilled at the prospect of getting rid of the filibuster when Republicans have an obvious long-term structural advantage in the senate.  Gutting the filibuster is something Dems should resign themselves to doing only if they're backed into a corner; it's not something to look forward to.

I don't really understand this either.  Honestly, the filibuster is a primary reason the major New Deal programs didn't get repealed sometime during the 1980-2008 era.

However, on the subject of this particular election, Markey should really just retire.  

The GOP isnt gonna get rid of SSA and FiCA taxes, it would have not been politically correct for them.
