actually no. I mean yes, it’s a worldwide issue, but the point I’m making is that in terms of natural resources and system of governance, Argentina actually has a lot going for it. They have a two round election system, the elections are fair and reliable, the amount of terms someone can serve as president is limited, they have abundant natural resources, free and high quality public education, etc etc.

For all intents and purposes, the argentinian public doesn’t have as many excuses as other countries, for having such shitty governments. There’s no unfair vote distribution, there’s no lack of resources, there’s sufficient education opportunities for social mobility and so on and so forth. If they bothered voting for a decent party instead of idiots, they’d be faring far better than they are.
