Take care #voting, make your #Preferences count.

“Preferences have become more important than ever in Australian elections, as the share of people supporting the major parties has dropped from more than 90% of primary votes in the 1950s to just 68.8% in the most recent federal poll.

The last Australian election saw 16 seats won by candidates who were not leading after the first count – the most ever, tied with 2016. And more than half of those winners were independent candidates – also the most ever.

Australia’s electoral system requires #voters to #number #candidates in their order of preference: their first choice, second choice and so on. During #counting, if no candidate has yet achieved a #majority, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated and their votes are redistributed to voters’ next #preference. This is repeated until there is a clear winner.”

A quotation from Lincoln

In this and like communities, public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it, nothing can succeed. Consequently, he who moulds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or pronounces decisions. He makes statutes and decisions possible or impossible to be executed.

Speech (1858-08-21), Lincoln-Douglas Debate No. 1, Ottawa, Illinois

A quotation from Lincoln

A majority held in restraint by constitutional checks and limitations, and always changing easily with deliberate changes of popular opinions and sentiments, is the only true sovereign of a free people. Whoever rejects it does of necessity fly to anarchy or to despotism.

Ari Berman reports for Mother Jones:

The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) top targets for the 2025-2026 elections include defending one-seat majorities in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Alaska, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.

DLCC wrote in a recent strategy memo. "Majorities in many states will likely come down to just a few districts and hundreds of votes."

#Quote 1
"The most difficult question for a social #transformation will probably be how we change from competing lone warriors to cooperating individuals who are turned towards each other in the knowledge that our own well-being depends on the well-being of our fellow humans."

#Quote 2
"The problem is: Even if a majority realized it, most people couldn't imagine a viable alternative. #Capitalist categories are so deeply internalized in our minds that a non-authoritarian alternative is not conceivable for most of us!"

“The Asch #conformity experiments or the Asch paradigm were a series of studies directed by #SolomonAsch studying if and how #individuals yielded to or defied a #majority group and the effect of such influences on #beliefs and #opinions.”

The stigma is real.
