Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

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.
That's all the rules!

Why do people who hate the government want to be in charge of the government?
So they can then destroy the government.
Yeah, pretty simple really. They hate the existing government and want to tear it down.
Can we stop calling this guy a libertarian? He's a Nazi, plain and simple. Let's call a spade a spade.
For he called himself Atlas and all he can do is Shrug.
Argentina has had basically the same Peronist politics for years and it has consistently failed to deliver, but still people are shocked when the Argentinians have had enough and decide to vote for something different.
He's probably going to be complete shite too, but hopefully it leads to a more moderate figure in future that can actually provide prosperity for Argentina.
This is that chainsaw psycho that uses his cloned dogs for advice....
Argentina is properly fucked if they don't revolt soon.
Libertarian economist? So he's going to try Free Market Capitalism, then. And surely, that won't result in monopolies and robber barons, ~~like it has throughout history.~~
he also wants to legalize organ sales and disband ministry of health and ministry of education, and used divination to get guidance from his dead dog. everyone and everything is gonna be fucked
This is the best summary I could come up with:
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Argentines have overwhelmingly elected Javier Milei, an ultra-conservative economist, as the next president of the South American country.
The far-right populist and first-time congressman won the second round of the presidential election, defeating Sergio Massa, the economy minister from the ruling Peronist party.
Addressing a crowd of ecstatic supporters at the Libertador Hotel in Buenos Aires Milei said that Argentina was in a "critical situation" and that it was no time for "half measures."
Milei is a newcomer to politics, just winning a seat in the Congress two years ago with his ultra-conservative libertarian party Freedom Advances.
He's also promised to slash Argentina's generous state spending and subsidies, a prospect that had generated fear among loyal voters of the current Peronist party, which despite a powerful political machine, lost by double digits.
With his shock of unruly hair and long sideburns, Milei's outspoken style and outrageous antics have drawn comparisons to politicians like President Donald Trump and Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro.
The original article contains 433 words, the summary contains 164 words. Saved 62%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
His first act? Bomb the Panama canal.
