Do you really believe that most "actually progressive" people voted no?

Do you think this is the springboard from which meaningful change will flow?

Lol all the woke voters in -checks notes- Maranoa and North QLD. Melbourne is actually super conservative then I guess.

Clearly a lot did, yes. 60% of people voted for gay marriage. That’s a far more “progressive” and divisive issue and it won.

Also seems the results are showing that a lot of massive indigenous population areas voted overwhelmingly no.
