-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline

- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Argentinian here, he's not great but fucking believe me theyre the best candidate amongst all other 4 that are all supporters of the practices that put us in this decadence.
So by that logic as long as a candidate doesn't support the "practices that put us in this decadence" they are good enough to vote for?
If this guy would be in favor of rounding up all gay people and shooting them, would you still vote for him? What about making it illegal for women to do paid work? What about shutting down all newspapers? If he proposed those things, would you still think he's the best candidate?
If not, then where is your line? Because to me he already seems pretty fucking extreme.
You can also not vote or cast a voto en blanco as a protest. Why not do that instead of vote for a Trump / Bolsonaro type person? Do you think they were successful presidents who made things better in the US / Brazil?
The fuck are you on about? First off, if those were his actual proposals of course he wouldnt be the best candidate, but want to know something? All other candidates have NO PROPOSALS, AND IM NOT EXAGGERATING, Rodriguez Larreta's is the current Governor of Buenos Aires, his campaing literally had not a single proposal, all others have nothing concrete either, Massa is the current Minister of Economy and he's supposedly gonna fix the economy ONLY IF WE VOTE HIM PRESIDENT??? Milei is literally the only candidate that has spoken out loud what they will do
But wanna know whats actually extreme, DO YOU WANT TO KNOW? The candidates that support these practices are all compliant of the current government, GOVERNMENT THAT LET THOUSANDS OF ARGENTINES DIE OF COVID while they held the vaccines for the Political Class, had Parties during Lockdown and arrested citizens that only wanted to mourn their beloved ones. Furthermore they attacked the monument made in honor of the ones that died during the pandemic
He's Anti Left, likes a dumbass and is Anti Abortion, AND WHAT? That Last Law was approved like 4 Years ago DESPITE THE ENTIRE COUNTRY manifesting against, our (corrupt) politicians turned their back to the people who voted them, while he ran for Senate, for his campaign promised that his Salary would be raffled back to the people and guess what, he complied and continues to stand by what he was voted for
Argies are not stupid, EVERYONE knows whats going on with the Politics of the Left here, and we're Angry, our people is dying of hunger, bussiness have to close down because of the neck choking taxes imposed to support the "Rights for the people" from a Government making net red numbers every day to keep the working people powerless and the poor eating the trash they hand them to barely keep them alive so they continue to vote for them
He's going to make it worse. Guaranteed. Look at literally every fucking other country run by people like this.
So we are supposed to keep voting the Politicians that are ACTUALLY killing us, that are ACTUALLY getting us more debt everyday, that are ACTUALLY putting in power of all of their friends to guarantee their richness, that are ACTUALLY making it harder and harder to leave the country while they sail around the world for their vacations? That are ACTUALLY making it worse?
Instead of the guy that has done many things right just because he kinda likes another country's asshole?
FUCK THAT, is essentially what this elections result means
Voting a fucking fascist in fucking power is not the fucking answer.
He will give you a 1 month high. You will feel like you're taking your country "back" and "making it great again". For 1 month. Maybe 2. Then it will not get better because fucking fascists don't have fucking answers or fucking solutions. All they have is blaming.
So when shit doesn't get better, what this fucking fascist will do is find some vulnerable minority or some people who do a serious non-dumb job and blame them. The gays. The indigenous. The judges. The leftist students. The scientists. The people who like to eat their salad with the wrong color tomatoes. Some made up shit.
And he will convince you that it's those people's fault that his bullshit anarcho-capitalist non-policies don't work. So he will need you to support him to hurt those people more and more and more so he can anarcho-capitalism harder. Promising that if you hurt the right people enough then it will be all right.
But it won't because there is no fucking magic and fucking fascists don't have fucking answers to any fucking problem.
Don't be a stooge for fascists.
Good luck.
This is what the current guys are doing bro, have you lived here?
You are spot on, we should not vote fascists into Power because they will not fix the problems, they will blame others for their incompetence and they will get in our ears we should support them more for enabling them to actually fix those problems and they will persecute the opposition calling them the problem.
For sure you dont know but you are describing the current government, the previous and all of it's candidates in this elections
While Milei has yet to even have that power, he's done nothing more than what he promised and what he was voted for in congress, in the span of 2 Years hes started his Political Career
And for sure he wont fix them either, this shit is deep and wont go away in just 4 Years, but if he doesnt fucking start the change he proposes, and we need, we will vote someone else, if anyone even exists thats not the same politics again
We're tired of bad. Lets give worse a go!
So what you're saying is that you didnt read a single line, because if the worse of actual Killers, Robbers and (convicted) Criminals is a Guy with a Wig and a questionable Economics Book then you got a hell of a definition of "worse"
