Current Events > First left wing millenial government is an unmitigated disaster

(+) Yeah! (+)

And I voted for it. I would again given the alternative was an alt right religious fascist Pinochet loving nutjob, but damn, couldn't they try a little harder so said nutjob doesn't body them in the next election?

Wut

Politics is the choice between getting punched in the mouth or kicked in the testicles -- with steel toed shoes.

Sir this is a wendy's

Is there other first leftist millenial president? There's 2 millenal presidents in the world.

Bump

Please explain

Why bump a topic you have no desire to elaborate on?

It's almost like every politician is just a scumbag and it doesn't matter what party they're in

Please explain

Gabriel Boric was the first left wing president in the world, and is setting a terrible precedent. Tbf, so is Bukele, but for very different reasons.

Are millenials just doomed to fail?

I don't think he's a scumbag, I think his team is incompetent.

Can you explain what they're doing wrong?

This board isn't exactly up to date on Chilean politics.

Thanks for the indepth and full explanation.

This is certainly a topic made in good faith, no question about it

Just mark it and move on, TC's account is going to inevitably end up banned just like his others

Tagged TC as a conservatroll.

Huh... I would have never guessed all of that went on behind the scenes. It really is amazing how well the game did, despite all of that.

And the multiplayer was phenomenal, so props to the 1 guy that worked on it in secret.

Sorry I was out of power most of the day and wasn't gonna post from my phone.

They've had several foreign policy blunders, like Boric calling out the US for not being present when John Kerry was literally sitting next to him at Summit of Americas, poorly thought out comments or desicions with Israel, Argentina, Per, among others.

Failure to be effective at controling terrorist groups in the south, calling out other politicians for supporting millitary intervention for civilian protection and key infrastructure safekeeping, and millitary intervention is all they've done since.

Failure to keep crime down in the north or control the massive influx of indocumented immigrants, mainly from the Venezuelan humanitary crisis, which has allowed criminal organizations to get into our country. We had never really seen hitmen, kidnapping or literally throwing people off bridges before. I want to clarify that I do not think nor with to imply in any way that all illegal imigrants are bad, not at all, but the current conditions have allowed very bad people to get in.

The president himself blatantly campaigning so the new constitution would win the plebiscite, and facing a massive 62% rejection from the population, in stark contrats of the 78% who voted to write a new constitution on the first one.

Several members of the government being extremely unprofessional or incompetent in one way or another. Soon after the plebiscite, several ministers were rotated or changed, before even a year of government had passed.

Giving presidential pardons to literal criminals who were "political prisioners of the October 2019 protests", when in fact they were nobodies who were convicted for crimes or felonies they comitted. After this pardon, while the country is facing its biggest security crisis in decades and public safety is the #1 concern of the population, they realize "oops some of these were actually bad people", and decide to remove the minister of justice from office.

These are all the ones that come to mind atm.

Presidential terms are 4 years for a reason

Let's Go Chile, a Trump-inspired political party (as if it wasn't obvious...), has 20 out of 50 Senate seats with two other far right parties having 9 and 8 seats respectively. With a clear majority of 37 out of 50 with just 3 out of the 4 top parties (and if include more far-right parties this goes up to 41/50) the far-right have a stranglehold on the positions that pass laws. TC doesn't understand how government works and thinks that the people making the laws aren't impactful at all.

Hopefully that helps.

That does help! Thanks!

No, I practically begged someone to actually ask for proof once. And they dodged.

So can I get back to you in 3 years?

What about the blunders that aren't some sort of long term plan, like accidentally pardoning criminals?

FYI: TC's history of posting about politics ranges from "making misleading posts by taking things out of context" to "lying out of his ass"

No because that's disingenuous. The examples I gave have nothing to do with the senate.

@ellis123 feel free to address post #23.
