Rules:
-
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
- Not United States Internal News
- 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
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.

MODERATORS
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
“Argies are not stupid, EVERYONE knows whats going on “
Yes, they are and no, they don’t.
Just like EVERY country that suffered under incompetent and corrupt rule and gravitated to “change”.
I get it. Hell it’s be far not the first time Argentina has been in economic crisis. It’s a rational reaction with a reasonable basis that ignores the likely consequences.
That’s the point being made here - you want different, but is he actually better? Populist gestures like “he gave his salary away” mean he’s getting paid via other means. By whom? Why?
I get it - you’re sick of the status quo and he’s expressing the outrage you feel.
Good luck, really. I love BA and hope it works out.
Aced it. Milei's following can't be reasoned with. They are pretty much like that other world power that almost had a coup. God save us.
Excuse me but mind pointing at whatever specific thing I may have said is unreasonable off my participation on this whole thread?
Furthermore mind explaining to me how is it unreasonable to Vote for the Guy with a Wig-Looking Hair that's done nothing wrong Politically when the other runner ups are a Drunk Terrorist (Bullrich), A Politician that sucks the dick of whoever is at Power to keep himself rich while proven completely useless in Charge (Massa), A LizardMan that opresses the workers with Police brutality and allows his paid supportive trope to disrupt peace on the streets (Larreta) and Juan Grabois (Self explanatory)
And finally, if you are Argentine yourself, please "Rescatate loco"
