The basic idea is, you vote consistently. Even in the midterms. Then after you vote and people are elected, you EMAIL THEM, CALL THEM and WRITE THEM and tell them, "hey *ssh*l*, I vote every election. I want more prolific federal funding for basic and advanced science research that will lead to much more effective treatment for severe mental illnesses. I also want you to propose and pass federal legislation that would prevent abuse to psychiatric sufferers. As a citizen and a voter, I keep track of how my elected officials vote on key issues I care about a lot. And I do not vote for them if I see they are not supporting my interests. Thank you and I wish you well."
I dont live in MASS, so your question to me is stupid and does not apply to me. Vote however YOU desire. BTW, you almost sound as if you are looking for an excuse NOT to vote...which is typical in this demographic.
