Here we sit 2 years after the last election. The questions we the people voted for are still in limbo. There is no accountability from anyone. It's such a huge message "you the people" do not matter. I know Amy Schumer and Brad Pitt are telling me how important it is to rock my vote. Who cares.

The system wont change until 'we the people' wake up and realize that the us vs them mentality is a shell game being played by the politicians. However, it is an us vs them game but the us is 'we the people' and the them is the Politicians. The politicians lie to us, scare us, cheat us, deny us, steal from us, and yet we vote the same cronies in year after year. Its not a red/blue thing, its not a left/right thing, its not a Republican/Democrat thing... its an Average Joe/Politician thing.. WAKE UP!

I firmly believe all politicians are basically the same. None of them give a fat rat's behind about the average person. That being said I am definitely voting mainly because of question 3. It is very important to me that Massachusetts sends a message that everyone deserves equality. I am was so sick over the fearmongering I saw going on in other states over this.

As a friend of mine always says "If you don't vote you can't bi@ch!"

I have felt strongly on questions before. They are still flim flamming on them 2 years later. nobody is held accountable. Charlie baker is sooo nice and he seems like such a great guy...blah blah do your job. you are for the people, when the people tell you what to do...do it

Voting doesn’t matter in MA like GeePee. Said. These politicians do what they want when they want. It’s actually not like that in other states but I had to move before I inderstood. People in Ma ride the MA is the best wave no matter what happens which is why none of the politicians are held accountable. The people in the state are so cocky they won’t admit they vote in the wrong people. Look at Lawrence’s last mayoral race, Look at Fall Rivers mayor look at Marty Walsh (hiring Henriquez) hell look at our governor.

NO, no, NO. We elect a governor to LEAD. It's great that he is a "nice guy" and all, but the man lacks back bone. Time to show him the door.

His job is to govern and MA has doing pretty well (in the context of the greater country) with our 'soft' leadership from technocrats like Patrick and Baker.

Jay Gonzales lacks the moderation which appeals to greater MA and Scott Lively should be institutionalized ... so tell me, who are the more capable managers?

I did vote this morning, but no, it doesn't matter at all. It's just become the modern secular sacrament.
