Interestingly, the media here seems to be in such an awe over Boric being a Croatian-Chilean that they don't even bother to mention he is one of those (domestically much despised) commies. :lol:

I dont know why but the press refers him like "leftist candidate" and the conservative candidate Kast was the "far rigth" candidate basing in who was his father and nothing more....

Historically that works out marginally better than fascism at least...

 

Seems like there was a real lack of mainstream options in the second round.

Well, for me both are mostly the same but in Latin America the fascist goverment dissapear many years ago, all the contrary the communism have 3 dictatorships: Nicaragua, Cuba and Venezuela. There are anothers goverments trying to did the same: Argentina, Peru, Bolivia and "may be" Chile.

Trudeau for me is a mad fanatic of the political correction but a luxury than our latin americas "commies" candidates.

I think exactly the contrary 😛

I guess every single website writing about his standpoints (against this freedom, against that freedom, yet another typical climate change/science denier, somewhat comparable with the actual horror show that is Bolsonaro, etc) accidentally wrote the opposite then :p

The other guy is a Chilean Bolsonaro, im glad for my fellow Chileans that Boric is the new president.

 

I think we gonna be free next year and Bolsonaro wont win as all election pools are showing. Thanks God looks like the winds are changing over here.

Mostly of the press is leftist, only for that, he is "far rigth" candidate, it was an election between conservative and communist candidates, im not conservative but i prefer one of them against any communist, Boric is the political "reencarnation" of Salvador Allende.

Instead of just saying "But the press is super duper leftist!!", explain why Kast is not a far right candidate and which of his standpoints as described by the 'leftist press' (including definitely non-leftist press) are not true?

 

Or will the arguments in favour of Kast just remain with "But the press!", like Trump-fans often did? And if so, we know certain people have certain...right-wing views. Which is fine, but in your wording, that should also mean we should not believe it when they call this Boric guy a communist.

 

I mean, if leftists calling Kast a far-right guy is wrong, surely rightists calling Boric a communist guy is wrong. Or does it only work one way?

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
