The thing that really gets me about this primary is that it’s only “ideological” because Kennedy needed to find a “lane” to run in, and realized that running to the left of Markey wouldn’t work, since he’s already sufficiently progressive. Were Markey a fairly moderate Democrat, needless to say Kennedy would be putting on his progressive outfit. I agree with Brucejoel that this is all about his ambition, and while he has the right to run, he’s banking on his last name and the fact that he’s a “fresh face” being enough, and he really doesn’t have anything new to offer. Say what you will about AOC, but she ran on more than just personal ambition and generational change.
