Except that there's countries that did the exact same thing and are doing fine. There's also the ones that dont and it shows it's a gamble.

Not taking the Gamble however means to take the risk-free secure pathway to Venezuela and luckily majority of Argentines understood that.

Great! A majority of the unwashed masses, half of whom are illiterate. I'm not really interested in what another illiterate person thinks about economics, either. Shows a total lack of appreciation for Argentina's most imminent, existential problems, and now you have a majority of the country tricked by a charlatan, and they're excited about it!

Thanks, social media, for giving know-nothings an "equal" voice. /s

What are you on about with Social Media? For the WHOLE elections Social's were INUNDATED with Ads and Publicity of Fear Campaign against Milei (from the current government and friends which Official Spending numbers could have paid a lot of debt mind you)

The fact that most people voted for him still is a telling that they are not able to be tricked.

Well, yeah that's also what democracy is about, no matter your conditions you have a voice, regardless of how educated that is... cough 45% cough . But most of all why would they need to all be Economists to vote for the guy that IS an economist and his economic proposals at that when his opponents have given 0 Proposals ALL COMBINED

You don't need to be an economist to see he's a moron. Just listen to him for five minutes. Obviously, you got tricked, though, so....

Innumerate and illiterate!

Obviosly he's a Moron, any person with 2 Braincells would run for President, Win and continue the status quo stealing from Argentines like the previous 20 Years politicians have, afterall there's been no consequences for them.

But he's not doing that, instead he's complied with his campaing promises and pushes to break Argentina's decadence with a radical change that so many promised and backed out after winning, putting himself at the stake most of all

So yeah, absolutely crazy from him. Voters? About to be defined
