    Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts launched a bid Monday for the Democratic nomination for president, becoming the 19th candidate in the most crowded primary in the party’s modern history.

    “I’m running because we have to beat Donald Trump, and I want us to beat Donald Trump because I love this country,” Moulton said in an announcement video posted on his web site. “I’d be honored if you join me in this mission.”

    The Massachusetts congressman, who was first elected in 2014 after ousting a scandal-plagued Democratic incumbent, is the sixth current or recent member of the House to enter the Democratic contest. He is one of three veterans seeking the nomination; like Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, he has touted that experience as a reason he can defeat President Trump.

    some commentary about Moulton at OTB:

    . . . Moulton has most notably distinguished himself as one of the Members of Congress who attempted to take on Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the House Democratic Leadership both after the 2016 election and in the wake of the Democratic Party’s successful effort to retake control of the House of Representatives in 2018. While those bids were unsuccessful. they did earn Moulton no small degree of public notoriety as something of a rebel inside his own party, Moulton has also highlighted issues such as election reform, including proposals to make Election Day a national holiday. He has also argued in favor of abolishing the filibuster and the Electoral College, although as a member of the House he obviously has no say on the issue of the filibuster and would have no say on the issue as President.​

    He would get crushed by Warren. Anyways, I'm sure what he means by "socialism" isn't "democratic socialism".

    These labels are pointless and add no value to policy discussion.

    And thus deeply embraced by Social Conservatives.

    The Dems are so pathetic at messaging. Every time Reps say "socialism bad", the Dems should run a commercial with their mug claiming that given a chance they would take Grandma off of Social Security.
