The #vote that transformed #Italy 80 years ago

That day, June 2, 1946, Italy turned the page. With 12,717,923 votes, #Italians chose 2 become a #Republic & 2 draft a new #Constitution. “Italy,” reads the first of the 139 articles produced after 170 sessions of the Constituent Assembly elected in that same vote, “is a #DemocraticRepublic founded on labor. Sovereignty belongs 2 the people, who exercize it within the forms & limits of the Constitution.”

Exercise your vote
Like your life depends on it
Because it well does

John Yates Sep 18, 2025

It's past time to peacefully protest the #FailedRobertsCourt for using the #ShadowDocket & otherwise to violate the #Constitution & the #RuleOfLaw . #WeThePeople must relentlessly protest them around the court, with urgency. Coming AT us in OUR homes dissolving our #DemocraticRepublic allows our protests at THEIR homes, and anywhere they show their faces. Demand the #OrangeFelon IS NOT ABOVE THE LAW, and hold him accountable. #FeetInTheStreet #Indivisible #Politics

"The recent increase in attacks on #Christians & other #religious communities by the #ISIS-affiliated #AlliedDemocraticForces (#ADF) in #DemocraticRepublic ofCongo→alarming. Most recent attack→particularly disturbing as it targeted place of worship during evening service—individuals should have freedom to worship w/o fear of putting 1's life @ risk. #USCIRF strongly condemns these attacks, calls on US gov to provide all possible support to curtail this disturbing trend"

Preferential (and compulsory) voting to directly elect representatives is v. good compared some other democracies and democratic republics.

(Yeah, #DemocraticRepublic is just included for our friends in the USA who've been propagandised into thinking they're not a democracy.)

I can #VoteGreen in Australia and still put Labor in front of the #Duttons and be sure that, barring idiocy by the #AEC, that my vote will count 1stly for the Greens, and if needed for Labor.
