U.S. Sen. Ed Markey secured the Democratic nomination in Massachusetts’ Senate primary Tuesday, once again fending off a push for generational change as he seeks a third term.
Markey, 80, defeated U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton, 47, who had attempted to argue that it was time to do away with the “status quo” in his pursuit to oust the octogenarian.
Yet Markey successfully pointed to Moulton’s more moderate positions to argue that it was Moulton — not the older incumbent — who was out of touch with the state’s voters. Perhaps no other issue defined the race more than transgender rights, and Markey repeatedly hit Moulton for previously saying he would not want his daughters to play against transgender athletes.
Yay another 80 year old to make decisions for the masses. Let’s celebrate his victory. Fuck what a joke
Edit: This post just shows how all this is controlled opposition. You people don’t want change, you think this fuck is on your side? 🤣🤣 What a joke of a country
You are mistaking the number of times around the sun for someone having good positions on the issues.
Stop taking the bait on the psyops campaigns to whip up intergenerational bullshit.
I don’t like that an 80 year old won, but the alternative is a younger but shittier option. Change just for the sake of change isn’t good. It’s not controlled opposition when the older candidate actively represents their constituents progressive views and the other is a bigot. His history is very public so we don’t just think he’s on our side, his body of work proves it. What a joke of a take you have there.
