still on this, the thing that makes markey in particular so galling to me is that he's done NOTHING. he's been in politics for as long as my mother has been alive (my mother is in her fifties) and the only thing he has in his record in terms of tangible achievements is some bill from twenty to thirty years ago that makes it harder for poor people to have internet (in stark contrast to joe's proven bonafides and progressive record but shrug dot emoji). he's accomplished nothing meaningful, his win was based entirely on vibes that children decided he had and taylor lorenz's moronically credulous brain tried to pretend was smart politics, and promises that he immediately turned his back on the second the primary was over. he barely spends time in MA, if it weren't for joe trying to primary him he wouldn't have been in that state at all for the entire calendar year considering he lives in maryland. he's emblematic of everything people claim they hate about politics and careerism, but because he did the right lip service and sponsored one bill with aoc back before her brain developed, a bunch of kids who barely understand how government works went all in on using the internet to pretend he was this leftist king who would be the bernie of a new era and were surprised when a man who voted for the hyde amendment and stood by it even in 2020 and continuously famously doesn't back down on any bad decision he made continued to have the same stances he's had for the last fifty fucking years. fuck him, fuck the 'markeyverse', i'm so glad it basically immediately ouroborosed itself and that they're all useless and can't ever interfere in an election ever again.
calling the markey haters
#personal#do you know how FRUSTRATING it was explaining to people over and over that this man does jack shit#and that's not even counting how abysmal his constituent services was#or his racism#or the times he would make jokes about joe's dead relatives which is acceptable if they happen to be from a famous family#(he started off this fucking primary making some crack at a member of the kennedy family who'd killed herself that month)#(piece of SHIT)#i haaaaaaate him it's so serious and so personal for me#and i'm serious he NEVER changes positions#he still defends the hyde vote and the crime vote (back when people were angry about biden and the crime bill)#(but willing to give fucking markey a pass??????? tf??????)#it was so funny i remember spring of 2021 israel did some bullshit as it does#and markey put out some statement about how blah blah the us must support israel blah blah you know how politicians do#and the markeyverse kids were sooooooooo upset and betrayed and wailing about how he could turn his back on his principles#he has no principles this is who he's always bene you just fooled yourselves because you wanted to be important and you're stupid#(and then later that year calla calling afghans 'afghanis' while complaining about biden god she was dumb)#(can't believe the closest counterpart i had on the markey campaign was one of the dumbest people to ever live)#also not forgiving markey for the environment we had to deal with in that primary either#there's a reason i'm quoted BY NAME in a politico article talking about the death threats and threatening language i had to deal with#and the impact it had on me#god i'm still so heated i'm killing your career one day ed i swear to god
