Chile Constitutional Referendum, September 4th 2022

[CumbrianLefty]

Shouldn't the thread title actually have "2020-21"?

He didn't do any meaningful elections for 15 years, but details.

Any report/indications on turnout?

There are very long queues everywhere but it could be COVID protocols and general SERVEL incompetence. But even considering that, it seems that turnout could go up significantly

Could that be good for the left?

[CumbrianLefty]

Well he is, pretty much.

New to how stock markets work are we?

Lula sent the congratulations tweet to Boric

"Parabenizo o companheiro @gabrielboric por sua eleição para Presidente do Chile. Fico feliz por mais uma vitória de um candidato democrata e progressista na nossa América Latina, para a construção de um futuro melhor para todos."

Probably he is very happy because of this fresh air to the South American left

Well, he will also be delighted that a Bolsonaro wannabe has been defeated.

And yes, you do love to see it

Well some might respond in that way - would they get called "anti-Chinese" for doing so?

And the irony of a blue avatar calling out AS - given that so many of their sort basically believe "WE SUPPORT ISRAEL SO THAT THEY CAN ALL PERISH IN THE RAPTURE" - has not gone unnoticed

I am Jewish. And if you can point me to anyone saying that, I will condemn that as well. Regardless, this is a thread about Chile. Let's not let whataboutism take us off-topic from Chile's new President.

I mean, you do know about the Left Behind franchise right?

And how it has literally millions of supporters in the US - including known GOP congresscritters.

But yeah, lets not get too off topic
