I refuse to participate in an election system that is so corrupt that they will re-elect Elizabeth Warren and refuse to even nominate a competent opponent.

How can a competent candidate win if people don't vote? Are you familiar with Massachusetts politics? Warren is very popular here, but not unbeatable. Jeff Diehl has as good a chance as anyone to win against her. He has a considerable amount of support.

Did you vote during the primary? Warren ran unopposed on the Dem ticket but Diehl had opponents. If you didn't like Diehl, or thought one of the other candidates might have a better chance against Warren, you and people like you may have made a difference. There's still an independent in the running in Shiva. If you don't want Warren to win, vote.

That's the absolute shittiest argument against voting - being disenfranchised with the process because you assume the incumbent is a shoe-in to win - and then refusing to vote... that's just lazy and irresponsible. The only way you and the rest of the lazy slobs out there can hope to change anything is to vote. Saying voting won't make a difference is a cop-out. More than 50% of the voting population don't vote during midterms. If even half of those people got off their ass and did their civic duty, these elections may not be as predictable as they tend to be.


You know as well as I do that nobody is going to vote against Warren, Diehl has no chance and was only nominated so that Warren would win unopposed. Also Shiva is a liar, and woman beater.

None of this matters because Warren is popular due to "standing for progress" despite doing nothing but acting like she is a progressive politician. I don't want anyone with an Ivy League or Law background representing me, but that is not going to change, corruption breeds corruption and people don't care because they follow the "as usual" politics based on sensationalism, identity politics, fake progressivism and lies.

The same thing happened in the 2016 election, nobody went against Hillary in the primaries for the same exact reasons. There was no chance of victory due to it being her turn.


Seems like you know as much about this as you do any other subject
