Good grief, I hope Martinez pulls an upset. If the past couple years hace shown us something it's that the Latin American right should never, ever be trusted with power again.

This is ignorant of the country by country variances of the Latin American political scenes. Obviously Macri is not the same as Bolsonaro, and neither are Maduro and Michelle Bachelet.

Sebastian Piñera was supposed to be the Nice, Moderate Smiley right-winger and he still ended up sending the army to quash democratic protests (he's been forced to back down, thankfully, but his actions still stand). Michel Temer was just Some Guy from a non-ideological catch-all party and he still participated in overthrowing Dilma, enacting vicious austerity measures, and putting Lula in jail to make sure he couldn't run. Mesa was supposed to be the nice, non-racist Smiley face of the Bolivian right and he still participated in the coup that overthrew Morales. PPK was supposed to be the sane center-right alternative to the Fujimoristas and he still ended up doing their bidding in a failed attempt to save his own corrupt ass. I guess Macri was the least bad of the bunch, but his refusing to let Morales use Argentine airspace is still proof that he doesn't care about democracy abroad even if he respects it in his own country.

NYT says Lacalle leads by 1 point with everything but provisionals counted.

Very sorry for abandoning this (for almost exactly a year!), especially when the actual elections happened 😬. Just popping back in to say that Tabaré Vázquez has died of lung cancer diagnosed in the last year of his term. QEPD.

Oh yeesh. RIP.
