I’m already stressing about results. What if I somehow miscalculated and helped allow dipshits in. Too late now.
I wish I could distract myself
Your single vote will not empower dipshits.
Even if it could...voters are never wrong. Sometimes the choices of voters have unforeseen consequences, but as a voter exercising your rights you cannot make a wrong choice doing it. Whatever you picked is right.
I think that any one voter can still have voted "wrong" in terms of their own beliefs and desires though?
Then that was a misunderstanding, not a mistake.
Any given voter's choice, regardless of who they vote for or if they vote at all, is always a valid and correct one. There are no wrong answers. Even if the decision ends up being one they find they disagree with later on for Reasons.
Melbs hasn't made a mistake - no voter can - so there's no point stressing herself sick over the possibility of error.
You know what, that's actually a really interesting perspective, thank you. I agree with that.
I just didn’t have time to research properly, and wasn’t familiar with a couple of independent candidates.
I did a quick google and put them just ahead of Pauline Hanson but am wondering if there were any things I missed. Whether my choices aligned with what I wanted.
