Moral Dillema

[Rob Boudrie]

I met an Indian guy who was collecting signatures to get onto the ballot for state rep. When he asked for a signature I tole him my loyalties were with the republican team, then he responded with "If I get on the ballot,I'll be running against DaveLinsky'. Thus the moral dillema.

You're either with David or your against him.

Elizabeth Warren used to be a Republican. The letter doesn't mean anything.

 

[Bonesinium]

I wouldn’t give it a second thought because it doesn’t matter either way.

Pretty sure I just walked by the same guy on the way in to ‘Bros to grab a few groceries. I didn’t bother stopping.

I don’t trust Indians after what they did to colonel Custer at big horn

 

[MaroonedinMA]

He’s likely just as bad but unlikely to be worse…

Why not, if just out of spite?

 

[42!]

It’s no longer about parties, it’s people
It’s no longer about who is good but who is less bad/evil

He’s worth talking to, might not be as bad for 2a

 

[StevieP]

Where does he stand on 2A issues?

 

[Win]

I'd vote for Darth Vader over Linsky

 

[GaryO]

The devil you know...For all you know, he may be to the left of Linsky, which would make him Trotsky.

I say sure. You either vote for the minority who is running as a dem, or for the dumpy white guy who will literally go as far left as possible just to stay relevant in his party to get elected without lopping his d*ck off.

 

[Spartan65]

Track that dude down and sign for him. Linsky is as bad as they come anything is better.

 

[HorizontalHunter]

I just signed one for an independent who wants to go up against Neal. The more the merrier. I generally vote anti-incumbent as we need all the help we can get and the old guard needs to go.

Never side with the incumbent here. Always welcome a challenger, even if they are worse. If anything you are just accelerating the problem.

At this point, scorched earth is the best solution.

Jaymin Patel. I knew an Indian names Shiv - are you talking about the one who worked at staples corporate?

 

[MaroonedinMA]

Jaymin Patel.

We have one here I support. She is pro 2A and personal responsibility.

You should have signed it Ghofack Yousself.

If it makes it harder for Linsky to sleep at night knowing he has competition, go for it.

Generally new reps have less credibility and power than incumbents. When it was Ayana Pressley against Mike Capuano, he was considered something like the third most powerful Dem at the time. As a freshman rep she had essentially zero power compared to him. Her voice might be loud because she's a member of the "squad" but her ability to really impact the overall party vote compared to Capuano is severely diminished.

It seems to me that the legislature doesn't take Linsky that seriously with all his pet gun control bills that never get passed. However, when these bigger "omnibus" gun control packages come up, you can be sure he weighs in.

Therefore, raising the possibility of booting him in favor for someone who might not focus on that issue and have less of a voice every few years when MA puts together a big antigun initiative is probably a good idea.

Also, making him eligible for the ballot is not the same as giving him a vote.

 

[240Geezer]

If voting mattered they wouldn't let us do it.
It's almost to that point now.
Merely symbolic.

Maybe this one?

You're either with David or your against him.

Well, or either with farm animals or against them.

It literally doesnt matter, theres no possible universe in which most candidates would be worse than Linksy WRT guns. And in mass you're going to have to settle for whatever is there.

Massachusetts? Who is this unicorn?

 

[gerrycaruso]

I don't see a dilemma. It seems pretty simple to me. If you don't like Linsky, sign.

Elbow rating? Is she hot?

AFAF.

 

[Garys]

This is the kind of thing I'd say.

Seek help.
