Gonna have to quick-fail this one. It's a long way from the good article criteria.

Lead

• The lead is only a single sentence. It is too short and does not adequately summarize the article's content
• "The politics of Massachusetts can been politically attributed as socially progressive since the early 1800s." - but this contradicts with "During the first half of the 1900s, Boston was socially conservative" later in the article

Antebellum

• This section is almost entirely unsourced. We'll need inline citations for just about everything.

Gilded Age and Progressive Era

• Likewise, there is just far too much uncited here.
• This section seems to have an overemphasis on censorship, and doesn't discuss other factors in enough detail

Post-war

• Only really talks about the nuclear stuff, when there are many other things to talk about as well

State

• Unsourced, this needs inline citations

Federal

• Unsourced

Party registration

• Incomplete, we need some history as to trends and such

Completeness issues

• I find it lacking that such issues as Abortion in Massachusetts, Same-sex marriage in Massachusetts, Gun laws in Massachusetts, and similar topics are not mentioned

Given that this article needs a lot more inline citations, and is far from complete, I'll have to quick-fail this nomination. Hog Farm _Talk 21:07, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Alright, I will try to make improvements. Thank you for providing what is missing. Chutyo (talk) 21:27, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
