Polls for chileans living abroad beginning to report with huge leads for El Boris in most countries, but that's pretty much expected. Not sure if I mentioned this ages ago during the constitutional referendum, but unlike other LatAm countries, the chilean expat community is largely comprised of upper middle class college educated students and young professionals, a demographic that leans left (and Frente Amplio in particular). Also, while they're no longer a majority of the diaspora, Pinochet-era political exiles and their families (who also lean left) exert significant cultural influence in the rest of the community.

The actual reality is that the coup was originally scheduled for September 14, but Allende had just decided that he was going to announce a plebiscite on whether he should finish his own term, and the right was both unsure they'd win it, and, if they did, whether they'd have enough support to undo some of the stuff Allende had done. Allende was going to announce the plebiscite on the afternoon of September 11, so the coup happened in the morning.

While a Kast/Boric runoff was by far the most likely outcome by now (though there was a faint belief that after Kast's disastrous last debate performance Sichel could outdo him) Kast is doing far better than expected, and will likely get the first majority, which is important for momentum. It's not entirely set in stone yet, since there's still a lot of votes pending from the capital and larger cities where Boric could be stronger, but electoral results tend to be fairly homogeneous in Chile, so any surprises are unlikely. The biggest surprise is Parisi's strong performance, since he's a die-hard grifter who couldn't even set foot in the country during the campaign trail due to pending alimony payments. Parliamentary results aren't looking super bad so far, though - the right grows but is still a minority, and Kast's list didn't seem to steal much thunder from the mainstream right, either. But Boric's gonna have to mend bridges with the center left now, no two ways about it, and it's gonna be a difficult balancing act. TLDR guess I'm gonna donate to tree guy's campaign first thing tomorrow SexyBlindfold has issued a correction as of 00:33 on Nov 22, 2021 |

It's just dawned on me that Parisi will get to play kingmaker. He's the one wildcard for the runoff. I'm about to turn into the joker.

Parisi voters are overwelmingly right voters, no matter how much he wants to claim that his movement is neither left or right. Dude is absolutely a libertarian.

Torpor posted:how likely is Kast to win? I would say due to the vote share, if turnout remains low and the share of right wing candidates goes to Kast and left wing to Boric, Kast probably wins. Boric could win it if he somehow manages to drive more turnout in 30 days. Statistically, the winner of the first round always wins the second round, which would be Kast. However, inversely, the winner in the Metropolitan region always wins the second round, which would mean Kast. So who knows which way it goes. It seems tough, but I hope it can be done somehow.

I think this is just a language problem, in spanish the word is "democracia" which means basically an electoral system where people choose their leaders. The american english equivalent is "democracy", which means "choose from the George Washington/Harvard grads", which the Venezuelans failed to do, again. Just a simple lost in translation thing, happens all the time.

Trump doesn't need to jail everyone to win elections like Biden. He has perfected a much more sophisticated system.

The accusation is that he keeps people "dependent" on him (in other words, gives them reasons to vote for him), which is deplorable obviously Voters are supposed to carefully compare resumes then file in to vote for the longest one, and then the candidate spits in their faces and tells them to thank him for letting them cast a grubby vote and act like they're part of the process oh and they don't deserve anything. Giving people stuff that makes their lives better is cheating.

Raskolnikov38 posted:so the accusation is now that maduro is too good at democracy lmao it's not that he's too good at democracy, he's too good at politics. He's maintaining a loyal voter base while the opposition fractures into three distinct blocs, while creating apathy to arrive at the average voter turnout for Latin America. In a democracy you have to have two equally viable parties in every election, and instead of maintaining party loyalty you let people decide on who to vote based on what the tv tells them.
