Where exactly do the Trotskyists do well?

In relative terms they do best among Fernandez voters, Southerners (specifically Patagonians and people from Buenos Aires province) and Gen-Zs, albeit to a far lesser degree than the libertarians.

If you want to see for yourself just check the link and scroll to the very bottom. It's a little long and it's in Spanish but it's intuitive enough to understand.

Patagonians as in mainly Mixed/European ancestry and identification or Patagonian as indigenous such as the Selk’nam?

Left Front seems to view the vote with unusual optimism; at least that’s what I’m getting from the optimism for the future on their English affiliate‘s organ.

It would be a major success story for the Left Front to maintain. their momentum and polling numbers at this point. I honestly think they might be the most successful Marxist party in Latin America since the Cold War.

For one thing, I highly doubt the Left Front is just running on their official spokesman’s charisma, most times we’ve seen one man alliance bands collapse and burn fast. The Left Front has been at this for years and have gained support even when the pulse of the nation has shifted rightward.

Argentina as a whole needs to get over the racialist European obsession they have. It’s utterly unhealthy and keeps the country back.

FIT does oddly well in the northern province of Nequen if I’m not mistaken. Any similarities between the two for these results very much better than how they do nationally? What demographics are they pulling in the votes, because it sure can’t be underpaid and precarious undergrads?

Truckers won a recent strike, will get a 20% increase in Freight rates. Since the government is on its last legs, they’ve adopted a more conciliatory stance in meeting halfway for various protests and strikes. Hopefully we get more victories like this and for the government to put a nice #populist goody package during election time.
