Today in my country a president election has concluded.

Piñera and the conservative/rich sector won.

We are so fucking screwed! The same sector that kill and made torture in the recent past will lead my country again.

Im so sad and worried. Piñera its a businessman, one of the richest people in Chile, and now the president. The productive sector, education, radio, tv, etc are in the hands of the richest people, and besides the growing of our economy Chile its one of the most imbalanced countries in the world.

I hope something happened in the future, i hope my people ope their eyes, we need a true change.
Beat after beat i will become stronger.

I do. I'm interested in the political developments in Latin America as of late. There has been a swing to the left in large parts of the area. Except in Colombia and Chile it seems.

Why bother with all that rigmarole and illegality when you can just vastly outspend your opponent on advertising and politcal advice. The media is already in the hands of people who will benifit from you being in power, what more of an advantage do you need?
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Sucks. I'm obliged to say that as a liberal. Sucks even more that the stupid Haiti thing is drowning out everything else that's happening in the world. Blarg.

Though I'm not exactly surprised that people would want to elect a conservative leader. I mean, 50 years of the same liberal presidents combined with an economic downturn probably led the masses to go for Pinera.

I really don't see a doomsday scenario at all, especially considering how your Congress is still split evenly.
It is impossible to be a citizen if you don't make an effort to understand the most basic activities of your government. It is very difficult to thrive in an increasingly competitive world if you're a nation of doods.

I dont understand that statement at all. As for the liberal-conservative discussion im not really sure where Piñera belongs. What i really dont like about this guy is that his fortune is about 1200 million dollars and he is still looking for more power. He claims to be an entrepreneur that started from practically 0 and massed his fortune by hard work but everyone in Chile knows he was involved with the militar government and abused the late 80s before the return to democracy to buy state companies at a ridiculous low price. As for the entrepreneur claim he is for sure not one: he owns several companies but he has started very few in reality. He has been accused for abusing the use of privileged information to invest in a company before the price raise and multed for that, he has been caught spying against other politicians and got banned from politics some years, he is by far one of the less reliable guys to put in charge of a country.

Chile are very well in economic terms, the global economic crisis nearly dont reach our country the two last years. Indeed, we are an example in the region for our good shape after the global drowning... we have inequality, but our arks are full of money now. Our problem its the lack of memory and the pandemic stupidity because the TV and press mental control, we are like a little USA.

The last president (Michelle Bachelet) was the most popular president in the actual history, she reached more than 70% percent of approvation!. Maybe you have only friends in the aristocratic sector, idk.

This is why politics should not mix with religion.

Look at what has happened to America. Not one single fucking atheist in the history of presidency.
