I hope so... 2naSalit Sep 2020 #1

LOL Many of us were singing that refrain during the Obama years... SMC22307 Sep 2020 #2

Yes we were, the difference is we now have some of our elected Dems sing it along with us. Autumn Sep 2020 #3

"Some" of us, certainly not "many" of us. Too bad there has to be a gratuitous swipe at Obama here. George II Sep 2020 #18

LOL, the perpetually aggrieved. SMC22307 Sep 2020 #32

Go big or go extinct. lagomorph777 Sep 2020 #40

He has a message for Democrats? stillcool Sep 2020 #4

Yes, his message is in the article. nt Autumn Sep 2020 #6

I actually think The Nation is making this a much bigger "message" than it really is. George II Sep 2020 #17

If you don't like the article or find it filled with errors you can always rewrite it and Autumn Sep 2020 #19

Why the snark? The Nation has proven over the last few years that they're NOT the most.... George II Sep 2020 #20

I'm not the one complaining about the article and the content in it George. Autumn Sep 2020 #22

I didn't "complain" about the article, I just pointed out that it was an exaggeration.... George II Sep 2020 #25

Welp. sheshe2 Sep 2020 #26

Auchincloss was declared the winner late last night or early this morning.... George II Sep 2020 #30

That's unfortunate. Too bad we now have two Republicans in the race. lagomorph777 Sep 2020 #41

I wasn't following that primary too closely, but I've heard that he was a republican.... George II Sep 2020 #43

He was a Dem. sheshe2 Sep 2020 #50

*Sigh* sheshe2 Sep 2020 #48

amazing, can't wait to see what he does JI7 Sep 2020 #5

The thing is "he" didn't have a message for Democrats, The Nation had a message and used this.... George II Sep 2020 #27

Yes, sounds a bit desperate Cary Sep 2020 #28

I thought this was an article about Ed Markey, my Senator. sheshe2 Sep 2020 #8

Every sub-group of Dems should get out of the election what they put into it (at minimum). gulliver Sep 2020 #9

+1000. ehrnst Sep 2020 #37

Markey was first elected to the House in 1976 and the Senate in 2013..... George II Sep 2020 #10

Thank you! sheshe2 Sep 2020 #11

One has to wonder how Markey was able to win 21 straight elections: George II Sep 2020 #12

Amazing, isn't it? sheshe2 Sep 2020 #13

Lifetime, yes. And Warren is #2. How did they ever get those ratings without that.... George II Sep 2020 #14

Dunno, kind of confusing how they got that far on their own. sheshe2 Sep 2020 #15

Indeed. It would have been more remarkable if he lost. He's a very established, popular politician. ehrnst Sep 2020 #38

Kill the fillibuster...without that nothing else gets done... Wounded Bear Sep 2020 #21

No, Americans like incrementalism. betsuni Sep 2020 #31

Markey has done a great job for his District and State. His "message" hasn't changed.... George II Sep 2020 #33

Well... that's just because you're rational and realistic in how you view things. NurseJackie Sep 2020 #35

They will really freak out when full bore climate change gets here and it's too late Autumn Sep 2020 #34
