Joe Kennedy is a silver spoon dipshit.

The Democrats are just a fundraising group at this point.

Disgusting.

And you'll still hear libs lecturing progressives how they should play within the system and work from the inside. Ed Markey been working within the Democratic party for 40+ years.

Also what happened here?

Pelosi has been endorsing a bunch of stinkers lately so I'm hoping this bodes well for Markey. Fuck Pelosi and fuck Kennedy.

Yeah I'm saying that I mostly hear the "protect incumbents" talk about representatives, not senators, and that Pelosi backing representatives seems like what she might do.

What is the reasoning though? This was a sure fire win for Markey. And now she's endorsing a corporate dem to the right of him. It's complete bullshit.

I'm not saying it's not a bad endorsement. I just don't think it's a hypocritical one.

Pelosi's pac donated to Kennedy too. Markey played within the system for decades and this is the thanks he gets for simply being on the left.

The less cynical take is that all the leadership roles among House Democrats are filled by people born during the Victorian era, so Pelosi would rather have someone with Kennedy's ambitions in the Senate rather than challenging them.

Btw Pelosi wanted Kennedy to take back the House in 2015, but he took himself out because he didn't want to take out Republicans. Just incredible stuff.

The DNC has a general policy of not endorsing primary challengers.

Except in this case, it seems.

Does she deserve a less cynical take?

Surely this softens your obsession with the idea that Dem leaders never put their hand on the scale against the left.

I seem to recall that Kennedy giving a speech a few years ago. Might have been the response to trumps first state of the union. I figured they were grooming him to run this time. He must have fucked up hard.

I also think he straight up called for the legalization of weed. Its weird how Biden is so anti about that.

Lmao he was trotted out as a rising star and the next big thing and then had the weirdest, shiniest, sweatiest SotU response in history.

Massachusetts needs to stop propping up that family tbh.

I know it's partially the country's fault, but if we just didn't let Kennedys get into office in the first place...

She's wrong for this one. I can't think of any rational basis to support Kennedy over Markey, other than ideology. Hopefully it won't matter.

Think of all the Republican seats that her money could be going towards flipping instead of trying to primary out Markey.
We are the party of Biden now. We think Republicans that aren't Trump are good. I'm interested to see the down ballot Republicans Biden tells us to vote for.
