In an extremely desperate moment, the ad makes politics look worthy, hopeful, and even fun.
But Markey’s ad shares even more DNA with AOC’s political image than it does with themasculinity the former vice president occasionally favors. There is no way to see that clip of Markey walking the streets of his district in sneakers without thinking of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in her. It’s strange to recognize—in an ad dripping with macho swagger as it grapples with the challenges of an elderly incumbent—the spry and shady stylings of the House’s savviest member.
What saves this from pomposity is sass. Markey’s opponent in the primary is Joe Kennedy III, so there’s a pleasantly savage edge to the continual repurposing of John F. Kennedy’s famous “ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country” speech. Variations of this burn recur throughout the ad. The first instance targets Trump: “When crisis hit, Trump’s government abandoned America. We asked what we could do for our country. They looked for what they could take.
