    Far-right conservatives and facists have found quite the successful tactic for getting into power and getting their ways on public referenda: it’s called lying and misrepresentation.

      Not in Argentina’s case. There, the problem is decades of mismanagement by leftist governments that have, quite understandably, led to disillusionment among voters.

        It’s funny how people reading this thread came here only to circle jerk about liberal = bad ignoring completely the realities of argentina

      same with the far-left. they lied to their teeth to get into power and now look where they are. it’s very much expected that the pendulum swing all the way to the other side now. as sad as it is, it happens.

            The feeling isnt mutual and you literally only make this space worse for your own amusement, which is just really fucking sad dude.

              My comment was about how political extremism pushes societies so far to one end of the scale that it is inevitable that will swing the other way eventually. It has happened repeatedly during history and Argentina is not an isolated case. If the “far-right” candidate is elected (as it happened in Brasil with Bolsonaro for example) it could be the result of that, of the left pushing too far and Argentinians wanting “change”. I don’t condone it, it’s just a pattern that’s observable.

              Now, you don’t seem to (and many others who downvotes my comment) bother and look at my commented for its merits. You prefer to appease the mob in this bubble to make you feel good (maybe, I don’t know) and I don’t care. It is quite alright for people to not agree with each other and, to me, that’s the only way we can all improve. You didn’t care for any of it, you cursed me as if you have a moral high ground here. This is just a bubble, just like reddit id another bubble, and Facebook and X and so on. You fit in this bubble and good for you I say. I don’t fit and that’s fine too, but I do have the right to my opinion and so I will stand by it.

              Thanks for showing how disrespectful your side can be and now I know exactly who I’m dealing with. Have a good day! =)
