Well, you'd have to explain how it's rigged, who's rigging it, and by what means. It's not enough to say "the system is rigged." That's just rhetoric. It's designed for effect. Show me.

She voted "no". It was a safe vote as it didn't make any difference but I will still give her credit for the no vote.

Roll Call Vote

Sen Warren was a Reagan supporter.
She has disdain for what Republicans have become today.

The problem is she joined a party just as corrupt and thus makes her a hypocrite.

If she ran as an (I) or (L) or (G) she would have my vote without any hesitation.

Warren voted no because of the bank issue.
Not a word about the pension cutbacks though.

Why didn't she get riled up over that since it's a direct hit on individuals ?

No. Another negative point: her $350,000 salary for teaching one class at Harvard. Warren is part of the problem. All show. No go. She's duping the Grubers.

I imagine if one would complain about every bad thing in the budget you might get done complaining next year.

She understands the rules, games the system, and mouths pious platitudes to gain support from fools who do not understand that they are being played as suckers.
And she has ZERO real world experience, having spent her career in academia. We've already got one of those in the WH. Don't need another.
