Markey is pne of the best Senators in the country. Him losing to Moulton would be a tragedy.
For me they are the same - strongly liberal Democrats.. What's so good about Markey, and so bad about Moulton?
Markey is further to the left. Being (gasp) on the left myself I prefer Markey.
Moulton is an impressive politician, but I think he'd be a step down from both current Senators from Massachusetts.
Thanks. But - i really don't see any serious differences between them. Yeah, Markey is somewhat more liberal. But word "somewhat" is crucial here. I would understand, if Mouton would have Manchin-style voting record, but - he doesn't...
There are rather large differences between the two. Moulton is a bipartisan house member, supporting military candidates from both parties. He is very similar to Tim Ryan, believing that the path to winning back Democrats in the Rust Belt is to moderate on social issues. He is a member of the New Dem coalition, and has lambasted Single-Payer and public spending.
Ed Markey, on the other hand, is basically a bit less left than Warren. He was a paragon of MA politics, and championed my home district, now Clark's, for a long time. He has been a huge supporter of Left ideas and has not been a moderate on issues, to contrast with Moulton.
While you may like Moulton more from that description, us Massachusetts-ians would prefer Ed stays in his seat.
