Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Im not familiar enough with the term "Defeateism" to be sure on my answer, but just from Google definition, It is rather the only way Argentines have to vote, but this time there's at least hope since Milei is conpletely New, past Elections were completely defeateism as all candidates were already in power and were for sure bad, it was picking your poison 100%

I'd even say that the biggest driving factor for Milei's success is that he's new.

By the way, you said how you dont want Argentina to fall under totalitarism with a Populist that refuses to cede Power, you are describing exactly Kristina Fernandez on 2015 who refused to even stand in the same room to pass the Symbols of Power to the elected opossition Mauricio Macri, time again a Left Politician

She may have rudely skipped the ceremonial handoff but she ceded power. That’s a far cry from refusing to which is the threat I meant.

No she didnt ced the Power, justice had to intervene and a Provisional President (that lasted 12 hours) had to do it instead of her, good thing our constitution explicitly extinguishes Presidential Power the exact moment the clock hits 00:00 their last day of charge, or else?

I know that you meant something more serious, but to our constitution there isnt more serious than this

I did not know she actually refused. Dick move but smart for the constitution to stipulate that.
