    I predict that Argentinians are going to like this even less in the long run than the stuff the Peronists have gotten up to

      I can get the annoyance with how the economy has been… but jeez, what is the real solution here? I can’t see much of anything positive coming out of this.

          What options are in Argentina currently? I have almost zero knowledge of the political system there.

            Juan Schiaretti was the most normal dude of the runner ups, but besides him being like 70, nobody knew who he even was in the Political Spectrum, just this elections have made him visible enough that he got a good amount of votes and good reputation

            The others? Peronists (All the Blue colored Parties)

            A Lizardman known as “Larreta” who’s an Authoritarian and one of the most incompetent sons of bitches that has ever governed Buenos Aires and the other of his same Party “Patricia Bullrich” A LITERAL TERRORIST on the 70s and previously Security Minister, didnt do a great job, both of them in the Yellow Party

            Lastly there was Milei… so yeah

              Let’s all agree that, even Schiaretti being the most presidential candidate, none except for Milei has a political platform, or a plan. Larreta literally said “I’ll comment on that once I’m president”. And Bullrich made a poor joke of herself in the debates.

              So yeah… Milei was the unlikely best candidate.

              Prehaps something good and unexpected might come out of milei’s election even though he seems like an completely and utterly crackpot in my somewhat biased opinion having only read a few articles before hand then again he might end up “drowning” in his glow-in-the-dark swimming pool. You can’t predict the future. Plus it can always be worse. Milei might have some great plan’s in the work.he could be a good competent leader

        I think the only silver lining will (hopefully) be a whiplash reaction once the authoritarian populists fuck things up enough.

          It’s been a slow one in the UK, at least the US had a four-year load of nonsense to deal with before finding reality again.

            For real - our electoral systems are utterly fucked, but sometimes yours makes ours look like a damn tea party

      I assume that, just like with trump, they won’t admit that they were bamboozled and will just double down with the crazy.
