“Where are you on the political spectrum? Between the Socialist Party and the Communist Party? Or further left than the Communist Party?”

That’s quite frightening. Do they have any toilet paper left?

Yes, the toilet paper is the first to go with the installment of a leftist totalitarian regime. That reminds me of 2020 in the USA when it was difficult to get the toilet paper for a few months. I wonder if it was a sign…

No worries! A food shortage is being engineered to solve this problem.

From the little I know, Chile seems very divided right now. Seems the only two options was this guy and the other one a far right Bolsonaro-like figure, whose father was literally a German Nazi.

It’s the same as in Peru. The two candidates were horrid. This is one of the flaws of a multiparty system. Radicals have a chance to get elected because the there are so many moderate, reasonable options in the center that they split the field and in the final round only the two radical idiots remain.
